Yes. My latest story is about a film for which I wrote music, for a young Canadian upcoming film director and writer by the name of Cleo Tellier. Her film, Mishka, which is about teen pregnancy, was posted on YouTube on April 22 of this year. Mishka has achieved more than 20 million YouTube views since April 22. That film is generating $3,000 a month in YouTube advertising royalties for her, but under current copyright, there is no public performance or reproduction copyright afforded to me. I spoke with SOCAN about it, and they can't even indicate as to whether any level of proportionate remuneration will come back to me.
Ari and I are telling you these stories but we're also asking, like every other screen composer, what has happened to public performance and reproduction royalties in the 21st century for screen composers. Well, what we're telling you today is they've become insignificant or they don't even exist. The reason is that the money has moved to subscription.
So, what can we do? We don't want to come here and complain. We want to bring ideas. In the age-old adage of business, we're suggesting that copyright policy follow the money. Copyright remuneration policy must be augmented to include and gather money from subscription services.
We have an idea. We'd like to suggest a new subscription copyright levy. It's inspired by an existing blank media levy. We're referring to this as the SCGC copyright model. I'll explain the basic idea. There's been no econometric analysis of this; it is purely a principle, but I would like to explain how we think it could work.
It's an ISP subscription levy that would provide a basic 15 gigabytes of data per Canadian household a month that would be unlevied. There would be lots of room for households to be able to do Internet transactions, conduct business, share photos, download a few things, email, no problem. My own personal experience is that in a family, when you're downloading and consuming over 15 gigabytes of data a month, you're likely streaming Spotify, you're likely streaming YouTube, you're likely streaming Netflix. We think because the FANG companies will not give us access to the numbers they have, we have to apply a broad-based levy. They're forcing us to.
I'll move through this. We also believe that mobile should get some sort of consideration on this. We believe that this is a first response to what is fast becoming a grave economic condition.
The value gap is real. Basically, we're experiencing minuscule copyright remuneration from plentiful media consumption, and it's a woefully disproportionate remuneration. Ari can tell you just a little bit more about that.
