    This is not about me. Thankfully I am on my fifth album and can support myself, my band, crew, and entire management team by playing live shows

    Ah.. but this is the thing Taylor, you say it’s not about you – but clearly it is. Why else would you make such a public statement about how you’re standing up for the rights of new artists and bands? Are you really supportive of other artists?

This is petty and patently absurd.

    demands that you are granted free and unlimited use of our work,

Uh, no. The contract specifies "noncommercial purposes." Not at all free or unlimited.

On all other matters I defer to kb.
