CMRRA (Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency)

The Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA) is the leading Mechanical Rights Organization (MRO) in Canada. On behalf of music publishers and self-published songwriters, CMRRA issues licenses for the reproduction of their musical works. These licenses cover a wide range of uses, including physical products (CDs, vinyl), digital downloads, online streaming, and broadcast. CMRRA plays a critical role in ensuring that the creators and owners of the musical composition are paid whenever a copy of their music is made.
