Snark,
Google SODRAC or maybe PROCAN.

SOCAN....

What kind of tuning is that?
Dwight
SOCAN itself, can't help me as they don't deal with
recordings (just live performances). However, the
site did lead me to a number of other interesting
places (no my brain hurts).
On a side note:
One document I thought was interesting was this
Feb '07 proposal being considered in Canada (I
think this is just an update on tarrifs and other
"extensions" for 2007):
===== Tarrifs on blank media =====
3. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the levy rates shall be
(a) 29¢ for each audio cassette of 40 minutes or more in length;
(b) 29¢ for each CD-R or CD-RW;
(c) 85¢ for each CD-R Audio, CD-RW Audio or MiniDisc;
(d) for removable electronic memory cards in the Secure Digital,
MultiMedia, and Memory Stick formats with more than
256 MB of memory, $2 for each card with no more than
1 Gigabyte (GB) of memory, $5 for each card with more than
1 GB and no more than 4 GB of memory, and $10 for each
card with more than 4 GB of memory;
(e) for digital audio recorders, $5 for each recorder with no
more than 1 Gigabyte (GB) of memory, $25 for each recorder
with more than 1 GB and no more than 10 GB of memory, $50
for each recorder with more than 10 GB and no more than
30 GB of memory, and $75 for each recorder with more than
30 GB of memory.
(2) Pursuant to subsections 82(2) and 86(1) of the Act, no levy
is payable
(i) in respect of a sale or other disposition of a medium that
is to be exported from Canada and is so exported, or
(ii) on a medium that is sold or otherwise disposed of to a
society, association or corporation that represents persons
with a perceptual disability.
Collecting Body
4. CPCC is the collecting body designated pursuant to paragraph
83(8)(d) of the Act.
Apportionment of Levy
5. CPCC shall distribute the amounts it collects, less its operating
costs, as follows:
(a) 66 per cent, to be shared between the Society of Composers,
Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), the
Canadian Mechanical Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA)
and the Society for Reproduction Rights of Authors, Composers
and Publishers in Canada (SODRAC), on account of eligible
authors;
(b) 18.9 per cent, to the Neighbouring Rights Collective of
Canada (NRCC) on account of eligible performers;
(c) 15.1 per cent to the Neighbouring Rights Collective of Canada
(NRCC) on account of eligible makers.
===== End =====
I find it irksome that they are including memory sticks in this
tarrif business.
So it appears to me that Canada is has been/is moving in the
direction of taking tarrifs off of the media, and allowing free
copying of digital music. Music taxation it is. But, IANAL.
At the bottom of that section they are also careful to note that the
govt taxes are on top of all of that ;-) Oh joy!
"I shot the Tarrif, but I did not shoot the Duty-Free".
