Regarding copyright, I remember that when Sirius and XM launched their satellite radio service, everyone reckoned that they were peripheral players. They weren't considered very important. I was doing tracking and radio promotion, and that was the situation. Today, they are responsible, finally, for one of the largest copyright cheques our songwriters receive. These people, like you, take the trouble to go to industry meetings, such as the ADISQ meetings.
Do you think that your contribution to copyright is important, given that you also cover foreign markets? Regarding Sirius and XM, there may not be many people who listen to French-language radio in Illinois, but the fact remains that the United States is an enormous audience.
Is the situation the same for you when it comes to collecting copyright fees for Canadian artists abroad?
