She can’t sue for something she’s  never owned 

That sucks big time! 

When your creative manifestations suddenly belong to someone else's control 

Can't imagine what she's going through.

Why do u say that Taylor has him by the balls? It looks the opposite

because he had to resort to changing the license on YouTube in order to inflate the streams of the EP since she put it on blast

Could you explain to me what a "master" is and what it consists of? I get lost in these things :oops:

basically music ownership is divided in two: master recordings and publishing rights. Scooter owns the masters, so the finished song as a product. Taylor owns the publishing, which is the content and lyrics (I think)

a big source of income for the music industry is licensing music for trailers, TV shows etc. so in order to do that, you need the permission of both the master owner and the publisher, meaning that Taylor needs to approve whenever Scooter wants to license her music. Scooter obviously wanted to find a way through an agreement to license her songs, which she will never agree to, which is why she will re-record her catalogue. She will fully own those songs, which will allow her to license them, get all the money and tank his investment :vegas:

But does he still make money of new songs? Why didn't Taylor buy the masters? 

She tried to buy them but Scott Borschetta (the owner of her old label) didn't let her because it would insanely devalue  his label back when he wanted to sell it

So do we hate Scott or Scooter? Or both?
