Resolution of PRO Rate Disputes in the music industry refers to the processes and mechanisms employed to settle disagreements concerning the royalty rates paid by music users, such as streaming services, to Performing Rights Organizations (PROs)¹. These disputes often involve complex negotiations, legal proceedings, and the intervention of regulatory bodies like the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB)². The aim is to ensure fair compensation for songwriters and publishers for the public performance of their musical works.
