Offices threatened with song fees
Dentist Dennis Leung plays the radio in his office to calm nervous patients, but now Leung, and others running businesses that use background music, are being told to pay copyright fees.
The non-profit Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), which collects royalties for musicians, is warning dentists, chiropractors and opticians who play music during working hours that they need to have a licence to do so.
