Pharrell Williams has called on music industry heavyweights to change the way they do business and allow artists to own the rights to their songs.The Happy hitmaker was asked for his opinion on the nasty spat between Taylor Swift and music mogul Scooter Braun, who snapped up the rights to her back catalog after acquiring the singer’s former record label, during a recent Variety chat, and he insisted the Scooter did nothing wrong.That said, he believes Swift should have been given the opportunity to buy her own master recordings.A look into Taylor Swift’s new recordings“There’s no other industry out there in the world where a start-up gets off the ground and doesn’t own the trademark – it just doesn’t make sense,” Pharrell says.
