US Masters Only Qualified in 2020."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian commercial radio pays recording royalties of 100 dollars a year on its first 1.25 million dollars of ad revenue, under <a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/C-42\/section-72.html\">section 72 of the Copyright Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The cap applies only to Re:Sound, which collects neighbouring rights: royalties owed to a recording rather than the song. Nothing in section 72 limits what a station pays SOCAN, the songwriters&#8217; society.<\/p>\n<h2>What the 100-dollar cap does to the maths<\/h2>\n<p>On 30 May 2025 the Copyright Board approved <a href=\"https:\/\/decisions.cb-cda.gc.ca\/cb-cda\/decisions\/en\/522175\/1\/document.do\">Re:Sound&#8217;s commercial radio tariff for 2009 to 2025<\/a>, a settlement with the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, whose 568 member stations are about 78% of Canadian commercial radio.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From 1 July 2020: 2.7% on the first 1.25 million dollars of gross income and 3.7% on the rest, up from 1.44% and 2.1%.<\/li>\n<li>Low-use stations, playing recordings for under 20% of airtime: 1.2%, up from 0.75% (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazette.gc.ca\/rp-pr\/p1\/2025\/2025-05-31\/html\/sup1-eng.html\">Canada Gazette<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Board&#8217;s reasons say the 2.7% band &#8220;will not be effective&#8221; while section 72 stands. For a station earning only advertising income, 2.7% of 1.25 million would be 33,750 dollars. It pays 100.<\/p>\n<p>By law, half goes to performers. Re:Sound&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resound.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Distribution-Rules.pdf\">distribution rules<\/a> give featured artists on pop tracks 80% of that half by default: 40 dollars a year, before fees, shared by every featured artist the station played.<\/p>\n<p>Above the cap the full rate applies. A station with 5 million dollars in ad revenue pays 100 dollars plus 3.7% of the other 3.75 million, about 138,850 dollars. Re:Sound said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resound.ca\/newscategory\/fairness-for-music-creators-resound-calls-for-urgent-changes-to-the-copyright-act\">April 2022<\/a> that the exemption had cost performers and labels more than 160 million dollars since 1997.<\/p>\n<h2>Why US masters only started counting in 2020<\/h2>\n<p>Eligibility under <a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/C-42\/section-20.html\">section 20<\/a> turns on the maker, meaning whoever owns the master. On the first recording date the maker must be a citizen, resident or company headquartered in Canada or a treaty country, or every session must have been recorded in one.<\/p>\n<p>WPPT means the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. US recordings qualified for simulcasts when it took effect for Canada on 13 August 2014, but for over-the-air radio only from 1 July 2020, under CUSMA, the deal that replaced NAFTA. Re:Sound&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resound.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Annual-Report-2025-ENGLISH.pdf\">2025 annual report<\/a> puts the resulting radio rate increase at 76%.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/regulations\/SOR-2014-181\/FullText.html\">ministerial statement<\/a> still cuts some countries back:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>China: no remuneration, with narrow carve-outs for Hong Kong and Macao.<\/li>\n<li>Singapore and Costa Rica: nothing from free-to-air terrestrial radio.<\/li>\n<li>Barbados, Cabo Verde, Congo and Monaco: nothing at all.<\/li>\n<li>Lebanon: public performance only.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A recording made entirely in Canada qualifies under section 20(1)(b), whatever the maker&#8217;s nationality.<\/p>\n<h2>How the money finds your track<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Commercial stations file 365-day sequential playlogs, and Re:Sound pays track by track.<\/li>\n<li>Public performance tariffs for businesses such as bars and shops have no logs, so they are split using commercial radio logs.<\/li>\n<li>Payments run quarterly. Re:Sound distributed a record 55 million dollars in 2025, with a 13.1% base admin fee.<\/li>\n<li>Its commercial radio revenue fell 6.7% that year on weak advertising.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The approved rates ran to the end of 2025. Re:Sound&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resound.ca\/faq\/\">FAQ<\/a> says a certified tariff keeps applying until its successor is approved.<\/p>\n<h2>What to do with your catalogue<\/h2>\n<h3>Register both halves<\/h3>\n<p>Performers sign with ACTRA RACS or Artisti, and master owners with Panorama, formerly SOPROQ. Either side can register with Re:Sound directly, and it pays international rightsholders.<\/p>\n<h3>Search the database<\/h3>\n<p>Re:Sound&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resound.ca\/music-creators\/database\/\">public database<\/a> lists recordings that appear in user logs. A match means money may be waiting.<\/p>\n<h3>Document the maker<\/h3>\n<p>Record which entity owned each master, where it was headquartered on the first session date, and where every session happened. That is the whole eligibility test.<\/p>\n<h3>Get session players on file<\/h3>\n<p>The 20% backup pool only reaches musicians who are registered.<\/p>\n<h2>The distribution angle<\/h2>\n<p>A distributor cannot collect Re:Sound money for you; neighbouring rights run outside the store chain. It can deliver the ISRC, the International Standard Recording Code, and the performer credits Re:Sound matches against.<\/p>\n<p>DDEX means Digital Data Exchange, the standard for delivering releases to stores. InterSpace Distribution sends both through it, so the line-up on the store is the line-up you register.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/korea-neighbouring-rights-royalties-fkmp-kpia-reciprocity\/\">Korea&#8217;s performer society and US claims<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/soundexchange-featured-artist-45-percent-unclaimed-royalties-three-years\/\">SoundExchange&#8217;s 45% featured-artist share<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/canada-killed-5-percent-streaming-levy-songwriters-record-year\/\">how Canada&#8217;s streaming levy died<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/glossary\/what-is-neighbouring-rights\/\">neighbouring rights explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canadian commercial radio pays Re:Sound just 100 dollars in recording royalties on its first 1.25 million in ad revenue.
