Missing Writers - Where are You?

Updated December 2009

The Canadian Screenwriters Collection Society (CSCS) has received foreign secondary authors' levies for the writers listed below.  In this context, secondary authors' levies include the blank tape levy (private home copying) and rental/public lending levy.  

Either CSCS does not have a current address for these writers or these writers have been identified and located but we have not been able to forward monies to them.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Please be advised that money owed to the writers on this list will forfeit to CSCS when the names have been listed on the website and the money is unclaimed for two years.  For example, money held for the names listed since August of 2008 will forfeit to CSCS as of the end of August of 2010.  The money for writers on this list forfeits to CSCS when either CSCS cannot locate writers or located writers refuse to respond to CSCS inquiries or sign the required paperwork to make a claim.

If you have any information that would allow us to contact any of these writers or their agents, please contact Marisa King at m.king@wgc.ca or by phoning (416)979-7907 ext. 5231 or 1-800-567-9974 ext. 5231. 

Please note that CSCS may require writers to furnish contracts in support of their claim.
