SOCAN, MROC, and Manitoba Music present...

This session will provide an overview of two of Canada’s important music rights organizations, SOCAN and MROC, including background to why SOCAN and MROC exist and how they put money back into the pockets of songwriters and musicians. Participants will learn about performance royalties, neighbouring rights, and other copyright issues facing the music industry. Panelists will help artists and copyright owners better understand how they can liaise with these organizations to get the most out of their performer and songwriter rights.
