Best Answer

A specialist can appraise the value of a copyright or catalog of copyrights, but in general, value comes from use and/or licensing. When a music publisher says a certain catalog is worth, say, $2 million, they mean they have brought in $2 million in licensing fees from that catalog.

Bear in mind that it isn't necessary to "buy" a copyright. Copyright protection is automatic, as soon as work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device".

If you want the additional protection a formally registered copyright will provide, contact the copyright office in your country for the proper procedure.
