She might not need sympathy, but in a conflict between artists on one side and record labels and private equity on the other, for me at least who I'm backing is pretty easy.

Better she has them than the other side, and no one has to buy a new copy. It's not like a video game release where they kill the original server.

It's not a false dichotomy, those were the two outcomes of the struggle for ownership of her masters. We might want other options, but I think it's a step better than private equity keeping ownership, don't you?

It's fine to assert both your viewpoints as a moral goal and value. Alas, us just making assertions and statements of morality doesn't end Capitalism or less to reallocation of resources in a more sustainable, equitable manner.
