Finding a particular one can be time-consuming. For this reason, music publishers have formed larger bodies to centralize and standardize the process of licensing and collecting royalties. One such organization is <strong>CMRRA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CMRRA<\/strong> represents the majority of music publishers doing business in Canada and can generally issue most of the mechanical licences you\u2019ll need for your product. You can perform a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cmrra.ca\/repertoire-search\/\">search of CMRRA\u2019s Repertoire<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, however, there may be songs (or portions of songs) that we do not represent. In those cases, it\u2019s your responsibility to obtain licences for the missing shares. There are a number of online resources available to locate copyright owners. The following organizations each have searchable online databases that we have found to be helpful in this regard:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socan.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.socan.ca<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a title=\"Visit http:\/\/www.ascap.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ascap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.ascap.com\/<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a title=\"Visit http:\/\/www.bmi.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bmi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.bmi.com\/<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a title=\"Visit http:\/\/www.sesac.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sesac.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.sesac.com\/<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=\u00a0\u00bb50&Prime;
