Bruce Springsteen fans brace for impact: The Boss just sold his entire music catalog, publishing rights, and master recordings to Sony Music in a historic deal worth a reported $500 million. This move locks down one of rock's last great independent catalogs, signaling a seismic shift in how legacy artists monetize their work. For Springsteen, it's a cash-out that secures his estate. For Sony, it's a power play to dominate streaming royalties and licensing for decades.
