Her dad was a shareholder and sat on the board of said company that sold to the "tycoon". Horrible example.

I doubt she'd like the situation where there were no rights to sell, as it would severely hamper her ability to sell music at dear prices to the streaming services. How much do you think Apple paid her for that exclusivity deal she had with them a while back? And would it have paid that much if copyright were weakened in the ways that would be required to prevent the Braun/Borshetta situation?
It just seems like a case of wanting to have one's cake and eat it.
For example, the law could be changed to give the creator of a work certain rights to use it even if they sell the right to commercialize the work.
Adding a compulsory non-commercial license won't help an artist who wants sell commercial licences when they are getting started, then unilaterally renege because they are popular enough to do it all themselves.
