SOCAN
Quote:
Q: Why do I need a SOCAN licence?
A: The licensing system is important because everyone deserves to get paid for their work - including the people who create the music that fills our lives every day. According to the Copyright Act, any public performance of copyright-protected musical works requires a licence. When a song gets played in public, music creators (not just the performers) are entitled to collect their licence fees - it's part of their livelihood. The tariffs for these uses are set by the Copyright Board, and the fees generally work out to mere fractions of a penny per song.
