B3K 5L2 (902) 454-6475 Each motion picture theatre in Canada, whether individual or a chain, is obligated to pay 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 rights organizations represented in Canada by PRO 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 PRO licence for the performance in Canada of its dramatico-musical works. Tariffs are printed in The Canada Gazette. The following fees are up 4% over the 1984 fees: Cinemas and Other Motion Picture Theatres For a theatre licence covering operations at any time during the year, the annual fee is charged on seating capacity as follows: Seats Rates per seat per annum 499 seats and under.......... 14.5 cents BOOMG 799i seatsee ee eee ae 17.4 cents BOOMOMES 99 tseatsamewes uses 21.7 cents 1,600 seats and over.......... 28.9 cents The seating capacity of Drive-In Theatres shall be three times the maximum number of automobiles which may be accommodated at any one time.
