The class is defined as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cAny rights holder who holds, or who has held at any time, rights in a musical work embodied in an audio product or a video product first released or distributed in Canada by any of the Record Label Defendants at any time up to and including December 31, 2012, for which rights the applicable Record Label Defendant was required to obtain a reproduction licence (including, in relation to video products, any necessary synchronization licence) but for which either no such licence has been obtained for the reproduction of the musical work or for which the required royalties have not been paid for the reproduction of the musical work despite the issuance of such a licence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Settlement agreements were reached between the original plaintiffs and the defendant record companies in July, August and December 2010, which involve the payment of defined amounts of unpaid pending list royalties into a settlement trust to be administered by CMRRA\/SODRAC Inc. (\u201cCSI\u201d), with the proceeds of the settlement to be paid to or for the benefit of rightsholders of musical works.<\/p>\n
