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.

REPRODUCTION, EXHIBITION & PUBLIC COMMUNICATION RIGHTS – VISUAL ARTS AND CRAFTS
After careful analysis of what is best for SOCAN's clients and members, we have decided to transfer our visual arts and crafts business to Ottawa-based company, Copyright Visual Arts/Droit d'auteurs en Arts visuels (COVA-DAAV).
We are confident that your visual arts and crafts business will be in great hands with COVA-DAAV, a proven leader and expert in that market.
If you are a SOCAN Visual Arts & Crafts client, you should have received an email from SOCAN alerting you to the above changes and terminating your visual arts & crafts agreement. SOCAN will distribute licensing fees collected up to the termination date.
To avoid any disruption to the delivery or administration of your visual arts and crafts reproduction rights royalties, it is important that you review and sign the agreement from COVA-DAAV that was included in the email that was emailed to you.
If you did not receive an email from SOCAN, please contact James Leacock, Director Royalty Collections at james.leacock@socan.com.
