In terms of people outside of Canada, one of the virtues of a system such as the PLR system for that type of copyright is that then agreements can be signed with other countries that have a similar system in place. Then Canadian artists are recompensed for use of their material in the other country, and artists from that country are recompensed for the use of their material in Canada. The commission in Canada and the commission in, say, Germany form an agreement, and it's only two bodies that have to come to an agreement to make it work.
