This is only done to prevent copyright expiration and having the album become public domain.
You’ll see they only do it for “oldish” albums. It’s quite a scam.
- laumars 7y agoI thought copyright had been extended long enough that they don't need to do that? For example you don't see the same thing quite so much with other genres of music and music of the same age in those scenes haven't fallen into the public domain. (this is a question rather than statement)
- josteink 7y agoFor new works, but not necessarily old ones. The remaster acts as a new, “derivative” work and thus gets whatever new copyright protection is offered by newer laws.
