i got accepted into my local version of bmi/ascap as well, and was poring through all the legalese on the differences between writers & publishers. I guess socan makes that distinction as well, but what are the benefits of being a publisher? Don't you have to pay for some kind of audit or some form of contractual obligations, which in this case, is yourself?

it should cost NOTHING... in fact really there is no need for the paper work just when registering the tracks you say that you are both auth and pub and youget 100 percent of the payout for the music.... its not all that complicated really....

depends on if SOCAN has a deal with foreign collection agencies. check out their website to see, i know mcps in uk has agreements worldwide so royalties find their way back to you.
i just adapt contracts i found on the internet depending on what the music is being used for.

socan tracks air play in canada it does not matter who you release with all socan cares about is that your a candian artist and that you get your money for airplay of that record.. they have agreements with other similar agencies in every country your record might get airplay in...
socan has a great 1800 number to call for free info they are super helpfull and will answer any and all questions regarding your music...
