Music has become an investment opportunity. KEXP talks to Marc Hogan, senior staff writer for Pitchfork who wrote an article titled “What To Know About Music’s Copyright Gold Rush.”
Music has become an investment opportunity. Last month, we heard the news that Bob Dylan sold his songwriting catalog to Universal for more than $300 million. Since then, artists such as Neil Young and Shakira have sold the rights to their songs to an investment company called Hipgnosis. To understand what this all might mean for the music industry is Marc Hogan. He’s a senior staff writer for Pitchfork who wrote an article titled “What To Know About Music’s Copyright Gold Rush.”
