Taylor regains its rights
After missing the sale of the business of his life, which is excluded from bidding, Taylor Swift have to have He took back the rights to the original album he recorded Large Machine Records. These albums were the first six people he recorded professionally and built his career in these versions. He has a lot public That he has rejected the access to purchasing these records from unscrupulous managers and private capital firms in the past.
It is not something that an artist has the rights of records from the beginning of his careers. Young artists are given the opportunity to record their music for a label in exchange for the company’s attachment to the main tapes to benefit from their investments. Those who hold rights can determine whether music can be used in films, video games, advertising and the like, and is limited to the original creative decision.
Swift’s case was a bit different as it was in a solid position to reclaim the rights of the tapes twice before they were sold before (the original label was sold large machinery Kayne WestManager Scooter BraunThen when he sells it to the private capital company Somrock Başkentand as claimed, their demands to take them back were rejected.

These were a great sales blessing and effectively devalued the original versions of these albums, fans flocked to buy new versions closer to the real vision of the artist.

This may not seem like a great deal, but it is a victory for artists who want to control their images, music and heritage, taking into account the heart and spirit they pour into. Taylor deserves this win.
