The Canadian Music Industry in a Digital World
CIMA Submission to National Digital Policy Consultations
Canada produces some 2,000 new musical titles (albums in English) every year. This productivity has remained constant over the past several years, despite the substantial issues faced by the industry with the advent of wide-scale file sharing. Canada has developed a system of regulated Canadian content requirements for radio, combined with financial supports mandated by the CRTC, to produce this outcome. The Canadian system is much admired and often envied by other countries that did not have the foresight or political will to implement similar systems. Most of Canada’s current production (and most of the recent catalogue) of musical works has been digitized, and producers are aware of and are meeting the need to distribute their works throughout the world in digital form, with the correct formats to allow the tracking of sales and distribution. This effort has been ongoing for some time, and is beginning to show results as Canadian companies collect on international sales.
