People seem to have issues understanding the texts of laws.

It’s only illegal if these 3 things aren’t met.

1. You got a counseling prior
2. It’s done by a physician
3. It happens until week 12 after conception

I don’t think these things are unreasonable at all

I went in to read the German law itself and it’s basically only illegal if certain conditions aren’t met and that is getting a counseling beforehand.

I think that’s a bit of a far stretch and misleading to say it’s illegal but rarely punished etc.

Also the headline is completely wrong, as it is already allowed to get an abortion up to week 12.

Here is the part of the legal text defining the requirements.

Section 218a Exemption from punishment for abortion

(1) The elements of the offence under section 218 are not deemed fulfilled if

1.  the pregnant woman requests the termination of pregnancy and demonstrates to the physician by producing the certificate referred to in section 219 (2) sentence 2 that she obtained counselling at least three days prior to the procedure,

2.  the termination is performed by a physician and

3.  no more than 12 weeks have elapsed since conception.

I mean it super clearly is hard-core sexism. I swear!

Humans kill Humans aaand everything else too

The average ticket price for her tour 2023 was 1088$

Whoever pays prices like this is completely lost

The thing your missing is, when you click only allow non essential, that means it’s still 700 companies tracking you because of the great term “legitimate interest”. That’s the one you need to deactivate and this usually one by one as shown in this post.

So yeah, you’re essentially allowing all the stuff the way you’re doing it

The 120k went into the label, he pumped another million into her directly just for the first album.

btw I tried to find a trustfull source for the claim that it was only 120k. There are different numbers thrown around, while the 120k is the lowest. The source of that number is Wikipedia and the 2 linked “resources” for that don’t mention it. One of the 2 resources is even an article that is not about Tailor Swift but rather one about some Tobey Keith instead.

I don’t think it was disclosed. I couldn’t find any proof about the amount.

She was 14 when “signing” the record label contract.

This is basically the moment where they used that load of money.And everyone who is thinking that she is a self-made anything is blind by choice.

Parents throwing Kids at that age into international careers make me at least sceptical about their motivation. That it seems to have worked out this time, doesn’t change that at all.

You’re right. Ups :P

Besides the insanely huge help she had on the beginning, the bigger part was for sure the knowledge transfer in terms of how to run a monetary wise successfull business.

And yes she is talented, I’m not saying she isn’t. But the advantage she had, due to this, speak for itself.

Never said ultra rich and by any means someone who is able to take over a million out of their pocket to Kickstart anything is rich.

The reason is that her dad is quite rich and was a stock broker.

He invested heavily in the label that had his daughter under contract, being able to dictate what the label was focusing on and on top he has thrown another Million on her, to start the journey.

So to sum it up a huge tone of money, contacts and knowledge about how to run a business by her father.

Probably a weird one

This will continue, as long as people dont stop using the products of this shitty companies. So yes, everybody who uses Spotify made the choice to give them their money, so that they can continue with this bs.

You can blame the Management or whoever as much as you want, but as long as you dont change your behaviour and stop using their products, they dont have a reason to stop.

So yes, its your fault too!

So they don’t pay fees, they dont pay artist and they never made a Profit. But for some fucking reason are allowed to dictate the music industry.

For anyone reading this, that still uses Spotify, a big fuck you from the heart of an artist!!! You’re the reason that abominations like Spotify are able to continue…

Europe will step in as usual

You really dont know what it means if a Company is non-profit and opensource, right?
