Agreed. The Van Gogh vs kindergarten painting example is a poor comparison - that would be more in line with buying the rights to all future royalties of a Taylor Swift song vs that of an unknown tuba player. This does make me wonder though - is there any market for recorded musical works as there is for physical works of art? For example, could the collective stakeholders in a Taylor Swift hit sell their share of future earnings based on a risk adjusted valuation of projected earnings? There would be implications for earnings on tour but interesting nonetheless.
