Around the time you wrote this, I read an article that asked the same question. The author wondered if the artists were selling their catalogues because the heirs of so many earlier artists had ended up squabbling so much about what to do with the catalogues, which would make it better to divide up cash among the heirs instead.

But your articles on the subject offer a different perspective: Bruce and Bob and Neil and the others sold their rights for cash now so that their heirs won't have to squabble over an ever-smaller pie as time goes on. Good move by them!
