do you think some of them have some type of scandal blowing up soon and they’re selling their catalog at a high price before people start boycotting ? Am I being paranoid about the multitude of artists that started selling their catalogs ever since metoo and the espsteub files started ? I know I made a typo not gonna correct it plus if you’re French it’s a great typo

Think of it like winning the lottery. You can get the lump sum up front or do installments. These artists are opting for that money up front.

If Future sells his catalog for 50 million or whatever, he can invest in whatever, buy whatever, etc. The money is liquid and in his pocket. There might even be better investments than his music. The figures people are being paid seem really high and who knows how long that market will be that hot.

You create a company to sell it eventually. Catalogs are companies
