Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every song is two pieces of property, and almost nobody outside the music business can name both. The composition is the song as written. The master is one recorded performance of it. They are owned separately, sold separately, and paid separately, and the seam between them is where fortunes were made and lost. Own the Masters dissects ten cases in which that seam decided everything. Not biographies. Deal anatomy: who owned what, how the paper was written, what it paid across the decades, and the principle you can use at your own scale. Inside: the catalog its own writers could not afford to buy back, and the right of first refusal one of them declined. The songwriter who refused to hand over half a copyright and collected eighteen years later. The twenty-year contract war won by a statute rather than a protest. The re-recordings built to compete with the originals. The quiet buybacks that cost a fraction of the public fights. The generation that negotiated ownership at signing. The estates earning more dead than most artists earn alive. The sellers who cashed out at the top and were right. And the fund that bought a century of songs and could not make the price work. Four moves exist: buy it, refuse to sell it, fight for it, or rebuild it. Each is examined at its clearest, alongside the case for selling everything, because a book about ownership that never argues the other side is advertising. Every figure is labeled disclosed, reported, or estimated, with ranges where credible sources conflict. No lyrics are reproduced. Where the participants have given incompatible accounts of the same events, all of them appear. It ends on the gap. Copyright protects the composition and the recording. It does not protect a voice.
