*If you are a Greek songwriter affiliated with EDEM you must register your works and collect your royalties directly from EDEM, as CD Baby does not do this. We will register your works and collect royalties from all other countries/territories, but you will be responsible for registering works and collecting your royalties locally.
** Due to site maintenance, CD Baby is temporarily unable to affiliate Canadian songwriters with the Canadian Performance Rights Organization (PRO) SOCAN. At this moment, Canadian songwriters must affiliate with SOCAN directly on their site.
