They've spent the best part of thirty years cashing in. Why stop now? Seriously? People love the music they made in the 70s 80s.

Their grandkids need new shoes too.

I think selling the catalog for a huge lump sum and putting it into a trust for future generations is gonna probably make more in the long run. The return on royalties is only going to go down.
