GVL international

Art speaks many languages. So do we. That's why we represent the interests of our rights holders on a global scale. If your productions are used abroad, we make sure that the relevant revenue reaches you.

We have representation agreements with local collective management organisations or music licensing companies in many countries. This allows us to be in close contact with our colleagues all over the world and to collect your revenue in a straightforward way. All of that at no additional cost to you.

For more information on rights management abroad via GVL and an overview of the countries and representation agreements, see the pages below.
 

GVL International ENG

When they enter into their rights administration agreement, producers and performers mandate GVL with the international management of their rights and register their repertoire or their contributions with GVL. Based on this mandate, GVL is then entitled to claim and pay out for productions that were used abroad from its sister organisations from all over the world.
