More on the issue(s).

In the past couple years I've seem a flock of articles about artists buying back the rights to their songs.  Most of the reporting states or at least implies a lot of money was spent to do it.  If those musicians are willing to license their songs (I've read some simply refuse) then I imagine their price reflects the price they paid to get their material back 'home.'  Here's a recent story about Fogerty and CCR tunes...  https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/john-fogerty-says-his-ccr-songs-are-home-where-they-belong-following-50-year-battle-over-rights/ar-AA1aRtnw?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=66c04f37e6b147d9a4d445f7ec850203&ei=231  (orignally from Fox Business)
