Yes, Everett, but your original question was how to collect if an independent artist puts up a song on CD Baby or iTunes for downloads.
As I understand it, in those particular cases, SOCAN/CMRRA will not collect royalties for you because there is no publisher involved.
So, it seems when you get a cut with an indie artist that is self-publishing, you will either have to collect yourself case by case, or use SoundExchange, Tune Core or another publishing administrator to do that work for you.
I may be wrong, but that is how I understand it. There seems to be new workflows in our age of self-publishing. It takes a while to get a grip of them for all of us.
Most PRO's allow the writer to register without designating a publisher. Thus, Everett would be entitled to writer's royalties through SOCAN. He can also register as the publisher and collect those as well. John

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
