As troubles have continued between SOCAN and XM Canada over the latter party’s unpaid royalty fees there has been increased agitation from SOCAN to receive their overdue payment.

Now XM Canada has announced their intention to repay the sum immediately, still bemoaning the difficult economic climate but assuring SOCAN of their continued efforts to rectify the situation.

SOCAN has rightfully responded to XM Canada’s plea for further time with a statement condemning the satellite company’s delayed payment, speaking of the sums that are being unfairly held from composers, producers and other rightful recipients due to the wait.
