license for broadcast mechanicals<br />
in return for a lump-sum payment<br />

Individual licenses are granted for<br />
the use of a work in films and television<br />
after consultation with the<br />
rights holders. SODRAC also<br />
administers the right of remuneration<br />
for eligible authors for private<br />
copying.<br />
SODRAC was founded in 1985<br />
by SPACQ (Société professionnelle<br />
des auteurs et des compositeurs<br />
du Québec), PROCAN (Performing<br />
Rights Organisation of Canada)<br />
and the French collective society<br />
SACEM (Société des auteurs, compositeurs<br />
et éditeurs de musique).<br />

and the repertoire of sixty-five<br />
countries are represented by<br />
