Hearings that could dramatically alter the way labels and publishers share online music revenue in Canada begin September 6.
The proceedings, before the Copyright Board of Canada in Ottawa, will mark the first time the federal-appointed tribunalconsiders rates for the online sale of music.
On April 28, CMRRA/SODRAC Inc. (CSI) filed its statement of case with the board. CSI is a joint venture of Montreal-based Society For Reproduction Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers in Canada (SODRAC) and Toronto-based Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA). They jointly represent 95 percent of music publishers operating in Canada.
CSI seeks tariffs in three categories of online music use: permanent downloads, limited downloads as provided by subscription services and on-demand music streams.
