Managing your Canadian royalties and U.S. SoundExchange royalties
Presented by Sébastien Boucher, musician and one of Artisti’s director, Maxime-Pierre Gazeau, Advisor, and and Marc-André Racine, responsible for processing royalties from SoundExchange.
In this presentation, we will explain in detail the path of your performer’s royalties, from broadcasting your music on the radio or in public places, to paying your royalties in your bank account. We will discuss the difference in management between Canadian, international and American royalties paid by SoundExchange. This workshop will highlight in particular the significant gains recently obtained by Artisti and the advantages of entrusting us with the management of your royalties.
Artisti on a mission for the recognition of performer’s rights
Presented by Annie Morin, Executive Director and France D’Amour, President of Artisti.
During this workshop, Annie Morin will talk about the evolution of performers’ copyrights in Canada and briefly present Artisti’s demands for the upcoming reform of the Copyright Act. France D’Amour will talk about the importance of the representation work done by Artisti and the essential mobilization by performers.
Overview of the music industry and main contracts encountered by performers
Presented by Me Bertand Menon, lawyer specializing in Arts rights (Music and Performing Arts).
During this workshop, Me Bertrand Menon will provide an overview of the main players in the music industry (publisher, manager, distributor, etc.) and the different roles that the artist can play in it (performer, author/composer and record producer). Secondly, he will detail the main contracts that you, performers, could likely come across during your career, whether you are a record producer or not.
10 years in a music band, a lifelong relationship with the artistic community and a sincere desire to help artists assert their rights: this is what led me to develop this practice especially dedicated to the arts.
Me Menon provides legal services to clients exclusively composed of artists, creators and cultural enterprises, mainly from the music and performing arts industries. Inspired by their universe and know-how, he accompanies and advises his clients in the elaboration, development and accomplishment of their projects, both in Quebec and internationally.
