Streaming requires new business model for record companies

Percentage of revenue, not per-stream payment

Comments

Author: Gerry YoungThis idea is good, and one that should be explored further, along with any other ideas that give a fair percentage back to the creators. Simply put, the present streaming setup in North America doesn't pay the creators a fair share of the revenue for their artistic and financial contributions.Read more comments

Online services increasingly important as TV viewing habits change

SOCAN wins new online TV tariff, continues to monitor trends

Comments

Author: Howard DruckmanI know what you mean, but who would be the most effective at actually obtaining fair compensation for SOCAN members? I'd argue that collection agents would be more qualified for the job, and do it more efficiently and effectively, than music lovers. Whether they care or not, they're good at the job.Read more comments

CEO Message: SOCAN strives for what’s fair to all

SOCAN actually advocates for some new digital music models

Comments

Author: Silvermane WesleyjohnVery interested to read that you have become CEO of a Canadian music rights corp, having come from France, and that you are so involved in the music scene there. I am in Southern Oregon, USA, having escaped the very meteorological conditions, terrain and snow-drenching you have gone to! Just kidding, Canada is still great. I am here more for love than anything. I still write and record since my kids have grown and gone, and am living the life of a starving musician. OK, semi-starving, since we live on and are sustained by our farm. Anyway, all the best to you at SOCAN. I have a very wonderful memory of one of SOCAN's seminars visiting my hometown of Ottawa many years ago, and learned a lot I apply to my music career even today. God bless, and au revoir!
