Each motion picture theatre in Canada, whether individual or a chain, is obligated to pay to Performing Rights Organization of Canada Limited an annual licence fee for the right to perform music in its repertoire, or the repertoires of foreign performing right organizations represented in Canada by P.R.O. Canada. The licence fees have been collected from theatres on behalf of writers, composers and music publishers since 1966.
The fees collected must be approved annually by the Copyright Appeal Board in Ottawa. The courts uphold the fact that it is unlawful to operate a motion picture theatre in Canada without a P.R.O. Canada licence for the performance in Canada of its dramatico-musical works during the calendar year 1978. Tariffs are printed in “The Canada Gazette”’ and the one pertaining to theatres is: THEATRES
For a theatre licence covering operations at any time during the year, the annual fee is charged on seating capacity as follows:
Seating Capacity Annual Fee Up to499 seats ............... $12.00 500-999 seats’. cate ee 24.00 1,000 seatsandover............ 42.00

Theatres operating three days or less per week shall pay one-half of the above rates.
For theatres operating for less than 12 months in each year, the fee payable shall be reduced by 1/12th for each full month during the year in which no operations occur.
Minimum fee, $10.
A licence obtained under this item of the tariff shall not be deemed to authorize any concert, recital of classical music or live performance when the exhibition of one or more films is not an integral part of the program. These performances shall be licensed under Item Number 5 of this tariff.
