I had a pleasant surprise yesterday finding I made a few bucks through SOCAN (i’m w/ASCAP) – so let me get this straight..an American show can sometimes get play in Canada or anywhere in the world for that matter? – Is this common and should I hope for a little something during international PRO payouts as well?
thanks..Jay
Ps…Ironically yesterday I found a store that carries my favorite Canadian beer (hard to find) and bought a 6 pack only to find it was paid for by Canadian royalties 🙂
November 13, 2012 at 10:29 am #7535Michael NickolasGuestHi Jay, yes you can hope for a little something for international distribution. As the years go by maybe more than a little. Used to be I’d get a small amount for Canada. But lately my international payout has been just about double domestic. Yesterday’s statement had 15 countries represented.
November 13, 2012 at 12:06 pm #7536JimGuestHello Jaye,
Yes this is common and a good thing for us. Sometimes even though the show is canceled in the US it can keep popping up in Croatia, Finland or somewhere . So the shows can stack up on the international distribution and maybe add up to something, yeah!
November 14, 2012 at 4:14 am #7538JayGuestThanks guys..after years of writing/recording/uploading/metadata and all the work that goes along with this…it’s finally nice to start seeing some $ – good to know the international payout could be decent as well – now I need to get a few placements on my own (w/no libraries) as I have a publishing company setup – it sure would be nice to get both sides of the backend…looks like I made it a little late to the party to see some upfont fees as I see this as a fading thing..besides RF sites I have one upfront fee paid..but it’s better than none 🙂 Jay
November 15, 2012 at 5:07 am #7562JayeMemberI spoke too soon on this – “it sure would be nice to get both sides of the backend”
as I just got a cue sheet where I get both sides…do publishing royalties pay about the same as writers royalties ? ( my first on the publishing side) thanks…Jay
November 15, 2012 at 11:27 am #7570CariParticipantI also made a few bucks through SOCAN – just got a statement from ASCAP! It’s my first cue sheet and I’m very excited! Surprised it is from Dec 2011 – on a talk show. I hope that it doesn’t sound like I’m bragging – far from it! I’m just so pleased and grateful! Wanted to share the good news – have a great day everyone!

Cheers,
Michael
November 15, 2012 at 1:19 pm #7574Art MunsonKeymasterYes, congrats Cari!
November 15, 2012 at 1:20 pm #7572AlanParticipantMy ASCAP international had some surprised too. I just learned of 9 placements across 2 different Canadian TV shows from 4th qtr 2011. Not much money, but every bit helps. It especially helps the moral! @ Cari, if you are like me, that first cue sheet is falls under life’s most memorable experiences!
I don’t understand why my 16 second Saturday Night Live placement in Dec 2011 paid $35 for my domestic payout, but only $8 for my SOCAN payout. Thoughts?
November 15, 2012 at 3:03 pm #7580JayeMemberCongrats Cari 🙂
that first one IS awesome..
November 15, 2012 at 7:44 pm #7584Mark_PetrieParticipantAlan – you get paid more for US network airtime than Canadian airtime (if I understood your question)
