Why did you become a GVL Delegate?
As General Manager of PRO Agency GmbH I represent neighbouring rights of our own repertoire as a producer of sound recordings and the repertoire of third parties. We represent more than half a million recordings and are members resp. affiliates in more than 60 collective management organisations and music licensing companies worldwide.
With this knowledge, I have approached GVL with criticism and suggestions for improvement time and again throughout the last few years, among others as a co-initiator of the petition #fairchangeGVL. Now I would like to actively contribute as a Delegate to changes and improvements.
As a representative of your category, what do you support in particular?
- Improvement of the IT systems
- Modification of the distribution rules for more fairness and transparency
- Extension of the rights managed by GVL regarding digital exploitation methods
- Adherence of the distribution deadlines / More transparency regarding international income
