DESCRIPTION

Are you a manager or songwriter looking to learn more about royalties and the rights landscape in Canada? Tune into this CMRRA 101 webinar with the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency and find out how they work tirelessly to value songs, which, in turn, gets more money into the pockets of publishers and songwriters.

 Let’s start at the beginning. What is a musical reproduction right? How does the administration of this right differ from the performing right for music? Why should we value this right? What is CMRRA doing for their clients? How often do publishers and songwriters get paid by CMRRA? If you’re a songwriter without a publishing deal, can you join CMRRA directly? What is the CMRRA’s latest tool, the Unclaimed Works Portal?

Established in 1975, CMRRA is the music industry leader in reproduction rights for anyone doing business in Canada, regardless of where you’re based in the world. Don’t leave money on the table! Find out why you probably have retroactive royalties waiting to be claimed!
