2. I suspect Taylor is going to win this battle not only because she’s in the right, but artists will stick together on stuff like this. I’m seeing lots of tweets saying that major artists are unfollowing Scooter on social media. Can any reporters confirm that?

16. One of the big questions today. Will
@taylorswift13 re-record her last six albums in order to get around the issue of Scooter Braun owning her masters? Of course she'd rather own the masters but will Scooter leave her with no choice but to take this route?Show this thread -
17. Taylor's former record company owns the masters, which means they own the recordings of her music and will make money when albums are sold, when those recordings are used in movies, commercials, etc. Taylor controls her publishing (the songwriting). (cont)

18. So what Taylor can do is re-record all of her songs and put those albums out. First, her loyal fans will start to buy and stream those albums and they will no longer buy and stream the albums from her old record company. That immediately devalues her old masters
Show this thread -
19. With respect to licensing etc, Taylor could refuse to grant permission for songs from her old albums to be licensed and only grant licensing for music from her re-recorded albums. Bottom line: this is a messy situation!
