My understanding is that most of these artists are complaining about the royalties, or the lack of royalties, generated by streaming services and online platforms. I'm talking about the traditional delivery mechanism where we play music in stores. I think the artists are receiving royalties through SOCAN and Re:Sound for the use of their music in the background of commercial establishments, but I think they could receive more if we would make sure that all music services would be subject to the same minimum of Canadian requirement.
