Sony Music Entertainment has acquired the entire recorded music catalog of Bob Dylan.
"Columbia Records has had a special relationship with Bob Dylan from the beginning of his career and we are tremendously proud and excited to be continuing to grow and evolve our ongoing 60-year partnership," said Rob Stringer, chairman of Sony Music Group, in a statement."Bob is one of music's greatest icons and an artist of unrivaled genius.

Many in the industry speculate that these sales are part of these artists' estate planning.
Song catalogs are valuable assets, but require extensive management, something that heirs are often unequipped to handle. Additionally, there is a movement in Washington to increase capital gains taxes above their current 20% level.
