I've also always suspected the timing of the Stones cutting off Mick Taylor from his share of the pie about the same time the new CD format was becoming the standard product was no coincidence.
I can't see any link between the two events.
Leaving Hot Rocks CDs (issued by ABKCO) aside, wasn't Flashpoint (1991) the first record released by the Stones as a compact disc ? Not sure, but that is what I seem to recall.
The first Rolling Stones compilation issued in the compact disc era was Jump Back (1993), and that would be the first time recordings from the Taylor era were 'repackaged' by the Stones.
(Like I said, leaving ABKCO releases aside).
Apart from the fact that 11-12 years passed between the two events, I already pointed out earlier that there is a mechanical license needed to reproduce recorded works. And as mentioned, whether you release in LP or CD format doesn't change that legal requirement.

In general, when people of importance...stock holders, executives, partners etc...leave an ongoing continuing profitable entity...the general practice is their shares of the organization are sold back to the organization for a multiple of profits. The profits are the profits...it is the multiple that is negotiated...and they are bought out.
Let me give some perspective as to why Bill was bought out.

The Stones should perform DOWNTOWN SUZIE on the Olé tour.
