I'm only a little paying attention - is she re-recording her own copyrights because someone else owns the physical masters? -- nm

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
