Your copyright collective’s efforts have paid off: major progress has been made for both copyright owners and content users.
On February 26, we were pleased to announce that Copibec is embracing blockchain technology. In partnership with a young, dynamic start-up called Scenarex, we are developing a platform that will make it easier for businesses to share copyright-protected content. For copyright owners, this platform built on blockchain technology will ensure an efficient, rigorous approach to copyright management.
We also had the pleasure of announcing an agreement reached with the city of Laval. This collaboration with Quebec’s third-largest city will enable us to distribute $137,000 over six years to copyright owners whose content is used by the city’s personnel. By teaming up with Copibec, Laval has recognized the importance of compensating creators in their role as cultural and economic drivers for the city.
I’d like to conclude by wishing a warm welcome to our new recruit: Xavier Daffe-Bordeleau. He will be in charge of handling requests for the DONA service and will assist with other files in our Education department.
