Both yesterday and today, representatives for SOCAN appeared before the Supreme Court of Canada to represent the interests of its members in three copyright cases related to the use of music on the Internet by large telecommunications and broadcasting corporations – Rogers, Bell, Telus, Apple, and Shaw among them.
