This year, some significant and central distributions for performers producers and event organisers are scheduled. You can gleam which payouts happen during which semester in this overview.

Today, GVL is transferring the remuneration in the course of the 2013-2014 final distribution, the 2015-2018 regular distributions and the 2019 initial distribution for event organisers.

Despite the exceptional year due to corona, GVL distributed €278.4m to its rights holders. There were nine distribution runs in total.

“The Music Industry in Germany” study, partly supported by GVL, was relaunched in 2020 and has now been published.

From today, the individual distribution results for the final distribution sound recordings 2016 are available to producers at label.gvl.

During their extraordinary meeting on 14 December 2020, the Shareholders and Delegates of GVL decided on a purely digital Assembly of Rights Holders in 2021.

We put three questions in relation to the exceptional year 2020 and the plans for the coming year to Bernhard F. Störkmann, Shareholder representative for the BFFS and Dr Till Völger, GVL Delegate for dubbing actors and member of the BFFS Board.

The Minister of State for Culture and Media, in agreement with the Federal Ministry of Economics, has confirmed: current remuneration from collective management organisations or music licensing organisations (CMOs/MLCs) has no influence on the special economic support measures granted by the Federal Government in November and December.

On 25/11/2020, GVL will begin with the payouts of the performer remuneration as part of its initial distribution 2019 and the subsequent distributions 2015 to 2018. In total, €57.7m will be additionally distributed to rights holders. See below for more details on this regular distribution.
