# Taylor Swift
|
|
|
|
Artist who pioneered large-scale IP reclamation through re-recording strategy and direct distribution bypass. Reclaimed master recordings for first six albums (2023-2024) and distributed Eras Tour concert film directly through AMC Theatres, capturing studio-level economics (57/43 split) by eliminating traditional film distributor. WIPO recognized her trademark strategy as model for artist IP protection.
