In the 2010 Copyright Board decision, when they set the rate, it was an effective rate of 5.7%, but they do take into account the size of the station, the amount of music that's played. For example, if you're looking at a small-market station, which the CRTC defines as having a market of less than 250,000, that rate is 0.59% of revenue, or about $700 per year.
When the Copyright Board looks at this, they do take into account those factors of size of market and use of music. And at the Copyright Board both parties come and present their cases, so whoever has filed the tariff, the rights holders, will present their cases, and then the broadcasters have the equal opportunity to come in.
It truly is an impartial judicial body.
