A taster of how
topics are
approached in this
module
Watch the video and
discuss:
Are private equities and funds have the right to own an artist’s work?
https://www.ft.com/video/8e3cc05d-fc32-4f96-b4ab-82120c177542?playlist-name=latest&playlist-offset=56
Taylor Swift’s first six albums were owned by
Big Machine Records (her first record label).
Scooter Braun purchased Big Machine Records
for an estimated $330m in June 2019 and in
October 2020 sold it to Shamrock holdings for
$405m. Taylor publicly implored her followers
to revolt against the blockade – she needed
permission from the labels to perform her own
music.

She took the fight into her own hands and


started re-releasing her old songs and emerged
as the world’s best selling soloist of 2021.

Lots of questions about intellectual property


and artist's rights.
