FAQ
- What is the difference between © and ℗?
- The © symbol refers to the copyright of the underlying composition (lyrics and melody), while the ℗ symbol (phonogram) refers specifically to the copyright of the sound recording (the master).
- Do I need these symbols for digital distribution in Canada?
- Yes. Digital aggregators and streaming services require both C and P lines to correctly attribute ownership and ensure royalties are paid to the rightful owners.
