Performing Rights

As the performance rightsholder in a song or composition, when your music is played in public (tv, radio, digital, streaming, background music, live, etc.) whether by you or someone else, you have earned royalties. By joining SOCAN, you’ve got a business partner specifically equipped to collect and distribute the royalties you have rightfully earned when your music is played in public.

Reproduction Rights

Sometimes called the “mechanical right,” the reproduction right is the right to authorize the reproduction of your musical work on various media, including streaming, downloads, CDs, and vinyl records. When your music is reproduced, royalties are owed to you. SOCAN ensures that you receive the royalties you have earned.
