How much would you pay to *OWN* your favorite song

[ebbhead]

There's a new company, SongVest, selling shares of songs to investors who'll then receive a share of the royalties those songs generate, though they won't have say on the use of the songs in movies or commercials.

So far, looks like Aerosmith, Cher, Garth Brooks and others have signed on.

As a fan, I think this would be somewhat cool to own a piece of a song I love, but it's also the ultimate in selling out, to a degree.

What say you?

There's some Bon Jovi up for auction now as well as the theme from The Monkees.

Oh, and you also get a gold or platinum record and a handwritten set of the lyrics.

Not to take a piece of Club80's action but...

Don't tell Georgie (bosten) about this. He might enter "Violins" and cause the market to crash.[:p]

LOL! The "derivatives" of the music market, for sure.

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Why are we giving AFTC a dead cat bounce? That ticker symbol should've been delisted a long time ago.
