Collective Management Organizations in Canada: Music Royalties
Explained
CONNECT Music Licensing has created a visual resource to help
artist-entrepreneurs, labels, songwriters, and performers better
understand the complex world of collective royalty management.
With a simple flowchart format, the Collective
Management Organizations in Canada: Music Royalties
Explained graphic helps creators understand the
royalties that they are entitled to when their music is streamed
online, played on the radio or broadcast in a restaurant, club,
bar, fitness club, live event venue, and more.
By following the flowchart and registering with the applicable
collective management organizations (CMOs), artists and
rightsholders can ensure they are collecting all the royalty
streams they are entitled to.
