I can understand licensing & access to the music but to sell off their publishing & masters is just basically what these artists were fighting their whole life to own & keep for themselves & their heirs (well maybe not Whitney), and now for the family to just sell it all like a grab bag is so sad.

Bruce Springsteen I'm surprised he even did this but maybe he don't care for his old music anymore (even though everytime I performs his own music he now has to pay someone else those royalties), maybe he doesn't like his children and don't care if they don't receive any money from his music when he's gone, maybe he has a limit on how long that company can own his catalog and then it reverts back to him, who knows?

This is the main reasons why so many people say the music industry is the shadiest of all businesses (rule #4080) cause they don't care about your health when you're around as long as you continue to make money for them while they continue to own your music.
