A lot of the money in the industry is made by private music royalty funds that buy the rights to music and earn proceeds on their usage. Its a good investment (especially during covid) not available to retail investors. There is financial innovation that could happen to improve the outcomes for artists. Many asset classes previously unavailable to the public (private reits, real estate syndications, art investing, wine investing) have been brought downmarket with crowdfunding. There is green space for a music royalty fund that optimizes for artist benefit over profits and is available to the public.
