Reproduction Copyright Fees
Non-commercial, Non-advertising

The fees listed in this section apply generally to reproductions made for non-commercial, non-advertising purposes; that is, when the work is reproduced for itself as a work of art, and not presented in conjunction with a product or institution.  For advertising and commercial fees, please see Section 3.

A licence entitles a user to reproduce or use a work in a specified manner.  Ownership of a work does not imply a transfer of copyright.  Copyright remains the property of the artist unless there is an agreement that states otherwise.

Moral rights protect a work from associations with unapproved causes or products, from unapproved alteration or distortion (including overprinting and cropping), and require that an artist be credited with his or her creation.

Fees listed below are for use of copyright only and do not include the cost of reproduction, rental fees, shipping or insurance costs, etc.

An administration fee of 20% for CARCC licensing services is included in all fees listed for the reproduction of works. To calculate the portion of the listed fee that the artist would receive, divide the given fee by 1.2.  Non-CARCC users of the Fee Schedule should decide whether they will charge their users the 20% premium to cover their own costs for licensing - for example, artists negotiating their own licences might include the 20% to cover the costs and time spent licensing, while users negotiating a licence might want to withhold the 20% to cover their own costs.

GST is not included and will be charged as required when a licence is invoiced.

 

• A.2 • Audio-Visual Reproduction

 

• A.2.1 • Reproduction Within A Cinematographic Work

A cinematographic work may be a work of fiction, a documentary, or a work of art, on film, videotape, or digital support. Works originally made on film remain classified as works on film even if the image has been transferred to videotape or digital support. This category includes all productions intended for broadcast.

 

• A.2.1.1 • Reproduction of a Fixed Image in a Cinematographic Work

The licences permit public viewing in local or regional broadcasts.  For national or international broadcasts, the fees are doubled.  The licences include all languages, and all types of distribution (screening, broadcast, video sales, etc.).  For major productions, the fee may be tripled.

The fees are calculated for a 5-year licence.  For a 10-yearuse, the basic fee is multiplied by 1.5; for a 25-year use, the basic fee is multiplied by 2.5.

For works used in a documentary profile of an artist, the following rates apply, but the length of the licence is increased to in perpetuity.

‘Number of works’ generally refers to the number of images included in a CARCC licence.  In the case of a licence including works by several artists, ‘number of works’ would refer to the number of images contributed by each artist, for the purposes of calculating the fees.
For special projects where a number of works by the same artist are used, a nominal fee of $300 (which includes an administrative fee of 20% for CARCC licensing) may be offered.

For non-profit cultural or educational projects, the fee is reduced by 50%, or the conditions negotiated.

Fees do not cover the use of work for promotion of the project.  For such uses, commercial reproduction schedules apply.

These fees apply to the presentation of a digital reproduction of a work on the internet, considered to be an electronic publication.  For exhibitions of works of art conceived for the internet, please use Exhibition fee schedules.

These are non-commercial, non-advertising rates.  They apply where the user organization has a mandate to promote work or artists (collectives, museums, artist-run centres and so on), and is exercising its cultural or educational mandate.  For all other types of use, please refer to the commercial rates in Section B.3.1.

Use for exhibition promotion is $25 per work for the duration of the exhibition if CARFAC exhibition fees have been paid.
