International affairs for producers

International affairs for producers

When marketing their sound recordings, labels no longer stick just to the German market. GVL acts along the same lines. We are not just partners of producers of sound recordings in Germany, but are also increasingly managing your neighbouring rights at an international level –  without charging anything extra for this service.

Currently, GVL has more than 50 international representation agreements for performers and producers and is always interested in promoting worldwide exchange on behalf of its rights holders. Accordingly, GVL regularly negotiates new contracts with other collective management organisations.

International rights management in four steps

1

Enter into a rights administration agreement and register online with GVL

Sign an agreement for the administration of rights with us and assign your rights for places outside of Germany to us.

After the conclusion of the rights administration agreement, we will give you access to the producers portal label.gvl. You can log in to label.gvl with your contract number and assign a password yourself.
