    It’s always smart to own your work. Look at what happened to so many artists who made a small percentage of the value of their albums, while music execs took the lion’s share.

    Not necessarily. Look at things like America's got talent. You sell your act to get world wide recognition. You can only become valuable by promising that value to a corporation with means to market your talent.

    I feel like music is becoming corrupt. A tool to pander, an advert, measured by the ability to reach the largest audience. It's supposed to be about sending a message, but it feels like we're being sold one.

    The internet exists and now more than ever people have the tools and resources to create, so it's wild that only big brands have such an iron monopoly on creativity. It's super disappointing.

        Her popularity could conceivably tank.

          We choose to give money to her. It’s our collective decision that she deserves this money because we like the music.

          This is where any Marxist argumentation falls over a lot of the times because it cannot convincingly explain what happens when you willingly want to reward certain talented person more than the other people

          The famous Wilt Chamberlain argument

            She has that money because she was given a platform none of us will ever have access to.

                At least she owns her work. It is her work to profit from.

                I don't like billionaires anymore than the next person but Taylor owning her own work is a win for her and the record company tried to do her dirty to begin with.

                  Or some artists were dropped by their label for no good reason and years later the artist has to pay the label royalties for playing their own songs.

                        Did they do her dirty? Or did they give her money, fame, prestige in return for her recording music using their resources, marketing, etc?

                        Seems like everyone got something

                          Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that's a galaxy brain move

                            Especially considering all her co-writers and ghost writers back then.
