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 licence for the performance in Canada of its dramaticomusical works. Tariffs are printed in “The Canada Gazette”.
The following fees are up 6% over the 1982 fees:

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.
