GVL forwards foreign remuneration to performing artists and recording producers

At the beginning of June, GVL already forwarded international revenues to their entitled recording producers. Now the foreign remuneration for performing artists will follow as planned.

In this distribution round, a total of approximately 2.6 million Euros from all over the world will be distributed to our rightsholders this time. 

This time, our recording producers receive remunerations from Great Britain, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania and the USA, among others.  Moreover, we forward money to our performing artists from Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Austria and others. For the first time, our musicians also receive usage-based payments from Brazil.

Prerequisites for receiving foreign remuneration are the registrations of participations and repertoire in our portals for rightsholders as well as the commissioning for international rights management.
