Publishing And Rights Management Practice Exam

Which two organizations are mentioned in relation to royalties in Canada?

SOCAN and CMRRA ASCAP and BMI PRS for Music and SACEM SIAE and GEMA

Correct Answer:

SOCAN and CMRRA

Explanation:

In Canada, royalties are handled by organizations that specialize in different rights. For performing rights—that is, the right to perform a song publicly and collect related royalties—the main body is SOCAN, the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada. For mechanical rights—the right to reproduce a musical work in copies, including downloads and physical copies—the relevant administrator is CMRRA, the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency. These two together cover the two primary streams of royalties musicians and rights-holders typically receive in Canada. The other options list organizations that operate in other countries (the United States, the United Kingdom/France, Italy, Germany) and don’t manage Canadian royalties.
