Yes, this is possible. You can access further information on this topic here. Information on the representation agreements GVL has for performers and producers of sound recordings is also available on our website.

The scope of remuneration from abroad does not only depend on the facilities of GVL but also the legal situation and the existing operational and technical infrastructure at the sister societies and their distribution plans. Accordingly, differences also affect the remuneration GVL receives.

Despite significant and also successful standardisation efforts, operational standards deviate. As such, payments are sometimes not made on an individualised basis or allocated to specific distribution years. This requires a manual processing of payment receipts which in turn often entails time delays for our rights holders.
