Taylor Swift's recent announcement of gaining back ownership of her music signals a pivotal moment for artists regarding creative ownership. This follows her battle with her former music label and manager over her back catalog rights.

Swift's case raises questions about the need for ownership among creatives and whether it should be a universal pursuit or not.
