'We have management companies that are very, very savvy in this area, and they went out to all the music supervisors at all the film and TV companies. 'I have some clients who have re-recorded their big hits,' LaPolt said.

According to LaPolt, Swift will easily be able to convince companies to come to her when they want to license her masters instead of paying Shamrock Capital for them. In all likelihood, Swift's collaboration with, which used her re-recorded version of 'Love Story' in its latest ad campaign, wasn't a one-off it was the first of countless licensing deals Swift is going to make with her re-recorded music.

By recording the masters herself, it opens the door for her to do those deals directly.' 'Even if the current owners of the old catalog want to do some type of deal for synchronization, without her approval as a songwriter, they wouldn't be able to do it. 'She has all the leverage, and all the control,' Page said. Swift has always said no to licensing offers on the grounds that they would profit Braun-but now that she's cut him out of the equation, she can strike those deals herself, and take home 100 percent of the profits they reap. To license (or 'synchronize') a song, you need permission from the record company who owns it and the songwriter who wrote it.

She's almost inevitably going to yield that power to license her music to advertising agencies and film and TV studios, according to Guillermo Page, a former record label executive who's worked for BMG, EMI, Sony, and Universal, and who now teaches in the University of Miami's music business program. When Swift releases new versions of her old songs, she'll own both their master rights and their publishing rights, earning every penny they bring in and securing unilateral control over how they're used. (Because she wrote her own songs, she retains the rights to the lyrics, melodies, and compositions that comprise them, and she doesn't have to ask permission from or pay anyone to use them how she sees fit.) Secondly, the 're-recording restriction' in her contract with Big Machine-a standard part of any record deal, which long prohibited her from recording new versions of the songs she released through the label-has reportedly expired. Firstly, while Shamrock Capital owns the master rights to Swift's first six albums-or in other words, the sound recordings on those albums-Swift owns the publishing rights. You'd think Swift's contract with Big Machine might prevent her from re-recording her old music, but she can legally do so for two reasons, according to Dina LaPolt, an entertainment attorney who represents Steven Tyler, 21 Savage, and several other high-profile artists. But according to several industry veterans who spoke with VICE, if Swift pulls this off, she stands to make an unthinkable amount of money-and decimate the value of her old recordings in the process. I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line.What Swift is doing might seem more like an attempt to win her longstanding battle against Braun than a calculated business move. Neither scooter or i have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair. Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.
