Absolutely.
The collective will probably work in a way that is not dissimilar to the way other collectives work. SOCAN is a good example. They basically distribute to artists and songwriters and music publishers. The private copy folks will also have a distribution.
I will walk you through the process. Essentially our concept is to create a paid access point licence fee, which in my case I would pay to Rogers. Essentially those moneys would then be pooled together and would go to a collective, and their distribution would have to be transparent.
Tracking is currently done by a number of firms. We've worked with one in particular to get data. That is a company called BigChampagne in California. Essentially they track BitTorrent traffic. They track files shared. In fact they do it for the major labels to tell them how much money they've lost. That's the irony.
In any case, money would be pooled. We're proposing it would be paid out on a pro rata basis. So let's say Bryan Adams gets 10,000 files shared that week and I get two. I'm going to get my share of that pie. So that is essentially how the collective would then distribute the money.
