Industry committee  If you're looking at online streaming services, on average, the services are paying between 12% and 15% for the performance, which is collected by SOCAN, and the mechanical, which is collected by SODRAC and CMRRA. That is paid to the songwriter and to the publisher.

Industry committee  It is routine in English Canada that 75% goes to the songwriter and 25% goes to the publisher.

Industry committee  That is a separate side and I'm not an expert in that. You're best to talk to CIMA or to Music Canada about that.

Industry committee  My colleagues in the U.S. are also concerned, though, about notice and notice. It's notice and take down in the U.S., but it hasn't been effective and has given safe harbour to.... It's a game of whack-a-mole, so even if there is a take down it's not the strong enough remedy that

Industry committee  No, it is not working, and there is a review ongoing on that and looking at alternatives.

Industry committee  I don't have them with me, but I could provide you with more information in my submission.

Industry committee  Yes, so the good players like Spotify and Apple come to the table and they negotiate. We have the fall ack of the Copyright Board and hopefully when we have a smoothly operating Copyright Board you could go there if there were a problem. We're looking at the players on Torrent s

Industry committee  Those things have already been discussed for music publishers and songwriters in the online hearing, and you'll be having people from CIMA and SOCAN appear who can answer more questions about that.

Industry committee  I think funding is another. There are very strong organizations that don't have the funding to provide that sort of training. The Songwriters Association and the Screen Composers Guild of Canada would be good sources that already are in touch with those people, and could often he

Industry committee  I think I'd probably see it as a responsibility of this committee to move ahead with this. We have all collectively—publishers, labels, artists, and songwriters—worked together to come up with common recommendations. We spent 18 months doing that, so we have a lot of information

Industry committee  I think this is something we could help you with. I'm not sure a third party committee is needed. As I said, we have already pulled multiple groups together to carefully outline that. We can also come back with suggested language and recommendations on that.

Industry committee  It does, in an indirect way, but it outlines exactly what independent music publishers are doing, the fact that they are small businesses, and that they have to complete globally. In the case of music publishers, it is a very competitive international market, so we want to be abl

Industry committee  Thank you. I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to make this presentation. I would like to begin by telling you briefly about us, about Canadian music publishers, and the role that international trade plays in ensuring Canadian songs are heard around the worl

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'll just say that there are some things going on that are already heading in the right direction. Looking at case management was announced with the IP strategy. The Copyright Board should proceed with that and proceed with the review that is being done on the Copyright Board, be
