Anita Baker is fighting for her masters. When reading about this I had no idea about “artist contracts” and this “30 year” law. This is what she said in a tweet.

“.. I have out-lived *ALL, of my Artists Contracts. They no longer “Own”, My Name & Likeness. And, by Law...30 yr old, Mstrs are 2B Returned, 2 Me.”

Does this only apply to a song writer? What kind of possible artist contract could Diana Ross have? Does she own any masters? One thing I can say about the younger generation of entertainers, is that some of them learned from past mistakes of the older generation, and now own their masters.
