Bob Dylan recently sold the rights to his entire music catalogue for $300 million dollars..Taylor Swift did the same thing for a reported $450 million.
The Killers, Imagine Dragons and many more artists have been following suite.

Before he passed, David Bowie seemed to be (as per usual) ahead of the curve - selling his catalogue in 2016 for $55 million.

What does this mean for artists, for the music industry and for the longevity and legacy of artists for future generations?
What does 'selling your masters' truly mean?

Josh and I weigh in on this topic in this 2 parter!
