So? Was her label obliged to offer her an opportunity to buy her masters? They are allowed to make deals with whomever they want. 

We they are claiming they did

Well opposing parties said that she did have that opportunity, so therefore something shady is going on, is the point.

Please inform yourselves better before claiming this. He never said he offered her to buy it. In fact, he showed the documents saying he offered her a 10 year contract with Big Machine in exchange for her masters. 

Taylor was the one who lied and said she had to release one album to get one of her old albums back. Scott showed RECEIPTS that said she would instantly get all of her masters back if she signed that 10 year contract that had no album obligations.

honey let me ask you a simple question imagine spending a decade of career making a name for yourself.imagine you spend years making your lifelong thesis or career defined project or whatever only it to be taken over the control of your own managers as its quite known that  your working under their company  with and decided to claim your own work and dreams as there's  and you,ll be receiving nothing else as a simple paycheck for all your previous work they own and decided to claim as their own and would provide the narrative that they were the makers of it not you

then i,ll ask how would it feel like just being stripped of something you spend your life on

Taylor always knew she doesn't own her masters. Her father in fact bought company shares in order for her to be signed to the label. They knew what they were getting into. It is her life work, but it is also Big Machine's life work. Would she have made that work without access to their investment in producers, directors, advertisement, payola, studios, advisors, managers, etc?

The st*pid jumped out huh

I see at least 3 people in this thread making the claim that Scooter "took Taylors Masters from her" and should "give them back". These are foolish comments that show a lack of understanding of the situation. She never owned them in the first place, like most artists.

Well I would never put myself in a contract like that. Yes I know she was young which is why I always said laws should be changed for minors signing long term contracts. Again, the issue is her contract, not scooter. Taylor does not even have a problem with not owning her work, she has a problem with who owns it. Also, Taylor is lucky because she wrote all her songs which means she has more control over her work and gets triple the money most artists get. This is not unique to Taylor, all artists have this issue and while I agree things should change, scooter is not the problem. Blaming scooter wont change the music industry, criticizing the record label will.

Oh wow so were gonna completely disregard morality. Cool. Let's just give up to the business model of the corporate world and never bother to voice or act on a humane change?

Okay I'm informed now  but still, how do we know that Taylor's point on "earning" them back wasn't at one point offered? He said they were "working" on a deal that would make more sense in the streaming age than one based on albums, which to me implies nothing was finalized, so that album idea could have once been put out there no?

Well of course Taylor’s lawyer would say that.
