Advocacy
SOCAN fights for the legal, fair and ethical use of our members'
music, and advocates for all of our members, whether songwriters, lyricists, concert
music composers, film scorers, music publishers, or other types of music creators.
SOCAN lobbies the federal government to ensure the most favourable possible conditions for our members, and especially to advocate for fair compensation for the use of their work. Similarly, SOCAN appears before the Copyright Board of Canada to pursue new tariffs for new uses of our members’ music; to pursue better rates for our members on existing tariffs; to represent the rights of our members in hearings; or to oppose representations by those music user groups or organizations that we believe are not fairly compensating our members.
SOCAN Executive attend Annual SOCAN on the Hill Event. Connecting with 300+ Members of Parliament on the importance of fair compensation for music creators and publishers.
