Music ownership rights have been in the news a lot lately, especially due to Taylor Swift's fight to keep hers, so for this episode, the Junkies examine which popular artists are taking lump sum payments for a lifetime of work and explain why this is happening more now than ever before. They look at the controversies surrounding the practice and tell us that while it might have looked like a negative when Britney Spears did it, it's not necessarily a sign that all is not well with a particular artist.
