Taylor Swift - Reputation (November 10, 2017) Album • Page 33

Yeah, Enchanted would be really close to a top 5 for me.

 

The Last Time is my all time last favorite Taylor song

 

I'm not a huge fan of Fearless outside of a handful of songs either. Even Speak Now I think is mostly just ok with a few great songs.

 

You know Forever 21 was probably already developing three shirts based on LWYMMD quotes

 

What a tragedy that would be

 

I would buy a "All I Think About Is Karma" shirt from Forever 21 and no one is surprised by this

 

All You Had To Do Was Stay is a song from 1989 that I feel no one ever talks about but is probably my favorite song on that whole record, top three at least

 

I think about this all the time, especially when Zedd and Alessia Cara basically store the melody line + lyrics and made it a huge hit.

 

Yeah that's probably my favourite too, so good.

 

I'll always go to bat for "I Wish You Would."

 

Eh..

This Love is good, This love is bad....

 

Yeah, most under the radar highlight on it. Great song.

This Love is a powerhouse.

 

Don't act like she has less rights because she is famous, you're better than that

 

I don't care about rich people not being able to make more money

 

how dare people protect their art from others trying to capitalize on it

 

Ok, this obviously is going nowhere.

 

I Know Places and This Love are like my faves on that album!

 

What's the dollar amount that a person needs to earn/possess for their rights to copyright, intellectual property, and private property to stop mattering? Asking for a friend.

 

I object to people trying to trademark their names. That's dumb. But a lyric you wrote should be yours. No question.

 

Intellectual and private property are both bullshit

 

I see this thread is no place for communist theory

 

it's also slightly different because she went after random Etsy sellers with the 1989 trademarks, and people are putting their blood sweat and tears into that stuff
Taylor Swift's Lawyers Threatened Etsy Sellers In Trademark Dispute

 

Just cause you put your blood sweat and tears into something doesn't mean you can profit on other people's art. You can put a lot of work into your stuff, but if you use my logo or call your website "chorus.fm" or "absolutepunk" — that's gonna be an issue for quite a few reasons. I don't want people misrepresenting who they are and using my name, possibly misleading people and making them dislike me because of it. A lot of bands wish they could go after counterfeit merch but don't have the ability. There's an entire cottage industry around using Brand New imagery/album artwork without the band's, or photographer's, permission. I'm going to have a hard time agreeing with any argument that says artist's shouldn't be be paid for their work. And artists that don't want to license their work for artistic reasons - like Bill Watterson - shouldn't be forced to via counterfeit merch.

 

my new site Absolute Chorus is a completely different website of course

 

Always thought Bill Watterson had a particularly good perspective on this type of thing.
