She was 15 years old. Her parents had to sign for her as "responsible adults". They were not a show business family and didn't know any better. The were in effect taken advantage of by wily music industry executives. When she finally as an adult grew tired of her record label management she offered to buy back all of her previous work from them before moving to Universal, where they were letting her keep her masters. The old label told her she could buy back one album master for every new album she cut with them. At that rate she would never own her own work because she would not own the new album she just cut to be able to buy back one of her earlier albums. I can understand her anger, especially since many of her older videos were self financed out of her earnings from shows in small venues like night clubs, county fairs and the like when she was up and coming.

She's re-recording her music to own herself - this whole thing won't matter soon

One of the reasons I hate the recording industry. So glad to see streaming and downloading dig in to their moneybags.

Let me summarise: Signed a contract at the beginning of her career as an adult. Now regrets it. Never shuts up about it because she thinks she’s entitled.

Taylor Swift is not the cute little harmless pop jewel that the media promotes her as. She is a very talented, cold , calculated artist that will step on anybody to get where she needs to go. She always knew what she was doing. Scooter only called her bluff and she lost big time.

Look TS made decisions in HER career, seems like some included selling the RIGHTS to her music.
If these come up for sale & appears they did, that doesnt mean the seller HAS to sell them to TS, they are free to sell to whoever they want.
TS poisoned her own plans to re-gain her music, seems her plan to re-obtain has failed or hit another obstacle, she might want to re-think her approach, whining to the media doesnt appear to have helped her.

Greed on this scale should be rewarded with a minimum of 20 years penal servitude.
Because justice matters.

There is no end to greed and the misery inflicted on those in its way...
