I looked at all your sites yesterday. You are right, Mr. Erdman, I am a big fan of Deezer. I imagine that, if I had accounts with other service providers, I would feel like I was at an all-you-can-eat buffet. It is great for consumers, but there is the whole question of how complex our market is. You are not selling lawnmowers. A lawnmower for a francophone and a lawnmower for an anglophone is still a lawnmower. But it is very tricky when we get into music and culture. That is why it was important for you all to answer Mr. Dykstra’s question. It is a very tricky issue.
Other people have told us that it is important to have a policy for defining, facilitating and establishing the major foundations for accessing our culture through these new platforms. In your case, I saw that Galaxie’s services go from TVs to cell phones. So your intention really is to get into telephones.
I tried to subscribe to Google Play myself, but I was not successful. It is probably because of the generation gap, it is too complicated. I have the app for Deezer, but all the models are different.
As a smartphone user, I have a monthly subscription to Deezer. If a Canadian goes to Google Play…
I saw that you have an agreement with SOCAN; it was announced at your launch yesterday. Is that agreement for streaming or per purchase? I saw that you were asking $1.49 for a song by Coeur de pirate or Brett Kissel. Is there a royalty, Mr. Kee? Is the agreement for streaming or for each sale? If it is for streaming, are those your rates?
