NOMBEDES Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This is a trend in the music business. (Dylan, Young and others) There was a recent article listing some of the advantages the artist / songwriter gains by selling at this point in time. I do not have the article to link, but I think it had to do with taxes and inheritance law.

David Crosby, who it seems is also selling his publishing rights, says the reason is that "streaming stole" his record money and the pandemic leaves him unable to tour. Without income, he feels he has no choice but to go through with the sale in order to keep his family and his responsibilities going.

asdf1000 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I believe all these artists will also get shares in this company Hipgnosis ... So they will all profit long term from each others publishing. And they win short term with a big bag of cash right now. ShawnC 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bobbmd Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 You can’t it with you(I wouldn’t term it ‘selling out’ more like preserving the fortune you have made)-more power to him if he gets upfront money to reinvest in his quest for (his) label freedom or research or to give to a foundation or leave a respectable amount to his heirs why give it all to a state or federal Internal Revenue Service. Here’s an idea for a foundation to give to— The Bears foundation— Owsley Stanley Foundation and help preserve all those great soundboards/tapes from the 60’s and 70’s or even the Grateful Dead vaults, if they have a foundation-but I am sure he and Dylan have already thought of this idea.
