And of course, nearly every record deal signed these days includes “re-recording restrictions” designed to prevent the artist from recording a competing version of their album after it’s released. For one, you have to own your own publishing rights (in other words, write your own songs), otherwise you’d need to ask permission from and pay the person who holds those rights in order to use the songs. Besides the obvious fact that re-recording old music requires a lot of time and money (especially if you’re planning on meticulously recreating it note for note), there are plenty of legal factors preventing many artists from undertaking such a project. But Swift is far from the first artist to take issue with not owning her masters will others follow her lead and re-record their old material? Those fans will surely feel as though they have to buy and stream the Swift-sanctioned versions instead of the originals to support her. She’s in a rather unique position because her battle with Braun over the rights to her masters has been very public, and she also happens to possess an insanely large, devoted fanbase who will buy just about anything she puts her name on. Of course, we won’t know until April how many people will be moved to buy the new version of Fearless, but it seems safe to assume Swift stands to make a boatload of cash by re-recording her old music.
