Quotable moments from this episode:

“There are two different copyrights associated to every song… (it’s) important (as an) investor to understand the difference between the two. If you buy the composition copyright it doesn’t matter who sings that song; you’ll be able to earn money on it. If you buy the “master” version of the copyright then you’re only going to get that one version.”

“I’m a cash flow guy… I want cash in my pocket not just assets that claim to be appreciating in value. Royalties give you that, you get paid on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. It’s 100% cash, you have direct right to it, nobody else has claim to whether you get it or not.”
