lifegear: And you continue to conveniently forget the copyright issue.
RA has admitted that these 'master tapes' contain only some unreleased songs. Copyright protects those, but lets go past that to the released songs - they are the intelectual property of the record company that released them. Doesn't matter whether they do or do not have their 'master tapes' they have the rights to the material.
Any attempt to re-release them would never fly - and if he did manage to pay an independent studio to create the cds for him, he'd get crushed in court.
Please, explain to all of us how he can possibly own the rights to these songs.
