I'm only a little paying attention - is she re-recording her own copyrights because someone else owns the physical masters? -- nm - Max Dec 2, 08:11 18
- Yes. She hates the owner of Big Machine that owns the masters (and actually just sold them to someone else) -- nm - spamlet Dec 2, 08:20 10
  - Someone bought masters that’s she re-recording? - Will Hunting Dec 2, 08:31 9
    - I have wondered about the logistics of the actual replacement of them, though. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 08:50 5
      - I would assume she can't replace the albums on services like Spotify. She'd re-release as a "remastered" version? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 08:52 4
        
        Maybe "Love Story (2020)" vs "Love Story (2008)" -- nm - Max Dec 2, 08:53 3
        
        so how does a business pick which one to use and thus to pay for the use? -- nm - Pippy Dec 2, 08:59 1
        
        Sync licenses are negotiated with rights holders so presumably you're either dealing with Taylor or the other guy -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 09:08
        
        Includes new epilogue verse! -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 08:54
    - She's not going to sound 16 anymore. The new recordings will be different. -- nm - spamlet Dec 2, 08:44 1
      - But see, that seems like it might be a *good* thing. Like, Def Leppard make a photocopy of Photograph, who cares? But if I am a fan of hers, I would - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 08:52
    - They double-dog-dared her -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 08:33
- So if her audio engineers become so good that the new records are nearly perfect copies, what's the likelyhood the courts ever side against her? - Max Dec 2, 08:20 4
  - As was noted here, Squeeze and Def Leppard have done so already. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 08:30 2
    - Things change. People change. Courts change. Interest rates fluctuate. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 08:35 1
      - Climates change. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 08:37
  - Is this a case where she owns the rights to the songs, just not the masters of the recordings? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 08:21
- Yes. -- nm - David Dec 2, 08:15
- Basically, yes. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:15
Of note: Squeeze did this back in 2010 with their album Spot the Difference -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 2, 08:02
I mean, they *did* re-record just like her. But yeah, go with a Chappelle thing. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 07:57
