Fancy Owning A Share Of A Song By Aerosmith, Bon Jovi Or Ozzy?

Heard of a company called SongVest? No, neither had we until this morning. It turns out SongVest isn't a business run by Paul Rodgers as we initially assumed… it's a music memorabilia firm. From October 4 to 18, SongVest is staging an online auction where bidders will be given the chance to own a percentage of the writer's share of their favorite songs, including those made famous by Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne and Bon Jovi. Outside of the Classic Rock field, bits of songs by Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, The Monkees, Ringo Starr, Cher and more are up for grabs. Fans who purchase their share of song royalties will receive a personalized plaque denoting their new status as song co-owner, along with a gold or platinum album award, handwritten lyrics, and other collectible items. Buyers also make money every time the songwriter does. God knows what it'll cost to make a successful bid, but this is an interesting concept all the same.
