Business systems and consumer patterns evolve over time. There can be no reasonable doubt about that. To deny that would be beyond foolish. But here is where the rubber hits the road: musicians have been more economically self destructive than other creatives. Check out our weekly newsletter here: http://bryantuk.substack.com

We go firmly into legal territory on this episode. Taylor Swift is waging a very public campaign against the company that owns many of her master recordings. Her audience seemingly is following suit. Social media is providing people a way to broadcast threats. We live in divided times. A private equity firm ends up with control of Ms. Swift’s master recordings. Analysis of the real root of this story is in this episode: the negotiation of the original licensing or production contracts and how those contracts can control the future conduct of the parties.

In this episode, Bryan and David break down the first episode of The Mandalorian, which premiered on Disney+ this week. Prepare for Star Wars nerdery.
