Of course he can wtf are you talking about lol? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghent 15839 Report post Posted January 8 I mean he can, but he doesn't own the music anymore so someone could make him take it down. Just weird to think about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1442 Report post Posted January 8 Again i commend you to find out what hipgnosis is or does. They essentially put their giaint songpool and its revenues on the stockmarket for their AND THE ARTISTS benefit. Nobody will sue tom for promoting that material. But if somebody performs his songs e.g blink or tom himself and gains revenue, the money ends up at hipgnosis and they deal with the investing, take their cut and then pay out. Its not even remotely what you guys are saying it is 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not a partnership. Tom sold the rights to all his music. End of story. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ry-Bread 4343 Report post Posted January 8 This is pretty simple, instead of Tom getting $ for streams/sales of past music, the new company does...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheerios4u98 9914 Report post Posted January 9 I’m not really sure what to think of this. I mean, I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it, but it is interesting at the very least. Maybe Tom was desperate for a large amount of fast money for some big To The Stars project or something. I don’t really care but this is just about the only interesting blink-related news right now. So does this mean he won’t make any more money off of blink unless he makes new music with them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannabe corn dog 2938 Report post Posted January 10 pretty sure he's made all the money he can off his back catalogue and this was a way to get a shit load of cash for it one last time. i would imagine a decision like this could easily be made by weighing how much money he would get from the sale vs how much he had been making per year off owning 1/3 of it, especially in the last five years. maybe he really wasn't making shit off those songs anymore. and it's not like the band was ever going to do special re-releases anyway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feeling_This_1 362 Report post Posted January 10 In a few years Tom might be broker than he was in 1992. I would be shocked if he invests any of this money wisely. We all know it's going to be poured into TTSA. I bet all those employees are throwing a party this weekend knowing they have jobs for the next few years.
