Socan is the Canadian oganisation. From what I read back in 1996 (which influenced me NOT to affiliate with them) were a few political stances they held on blank media. I went with BMI.... funny Socan's position at the time on blank media is much like BMI over radio play. I don't know if it's changed. From what I've read it hasn't.
Also: Affiliating with BMI as a songwriter is free. It's the music publishing companies that pay yearly fees. Unless that has changed since I affiliated with them.
PROs license public performances of their members' music which includes network television, cable TV, cable movie channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.), use in nightclubs, stores, restaurants and other public performances. PROs only licenses performing rights, and only non-dramatic performing rights.
Dramatic Rights (which are not licensed by the PROs) include performances you would see on Broadway or other theater type of performance. These rights are negotiated directly with either the composer, the publisher or their representative. Performance royalties are collected for movie theater performances in almost every country except the United States of America.
Rights such as mechanical rights, grand rights, master rights or synchronization rights are NOT licensed by PROs. PROs license performing rights only.
Performing rights organizations monitor their members' music when it is performed on the radio. In Television and Film performances, PROs use what is known as a Cue Sheet to keep track of whose music is used in which broadcast or film. These Cue Sheets are filled out by the producer and submitted to each PRO who has a member represented on the Cue Sheet. The fees paid to the performing rights organizations are typically paid by the broadcaster and are not the responsibility of the producer.
