Yes, they are also responsible. If the promoter of an event doesn’t obtain the necessary licence, the owner of the venue can be held responsible for the unlicensed performance. If music is used in your venue, simply contact SOCAN. It’s easy to ensure that the right SOCAN licence is obtained. Just e-mail us.
