Corona Emergency Relief: GVL provides EUR 41.9m by way of advance payments to producers of sound recordings
The payments on account are made to producers who are GVL rights holders and participated in the distributions for sound recordings in the last three years and have not rejected to receive advance payments. The initial distribution for the 2020 usage year to the producers is therefore taking place in two payout rounds in 2021. The total budget for the advance payments paid out not amounts to EUR 41.9m.
GVL pays performers income from distributions received from abroad
EUR 5.56m are available for this payout run. The money originates, among others, from Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. Contribution notifications submitted to meine.gvl are the basis for this payout.
GVL has also been able to establish a continuous distribution rhythm in terms of passing on international revenues.
Supplementary distribution performer for the usage years up to 2014
The payouts will be made to rights holders whose productions have been used in the corresponding years and who had notified GVL of their contributions.
In this additional payout run for the usage years up to 2014, back payments from the private copying sector (ZPÜ monies) will be distributed for previous usage years and for dissolved reserves which were not used for other distributions that have been completed in the meantime.
Online seminar for producers: label.gvl and managing rights ownership records
Our next online seminar for producers and labels takes place on 26 May 2021 at 5pm [CET]. Apart from a short presentation of our producer portal label.gvl, we will focus on the topic of rights ownership records and how to manage them.
Entering into agreements with GVL is made simpler for producers
This goes hand in hand with significant steps to facilitate evidence submissions. “We wanted to make it as simple as possible to our producers to assign their rights to us. In addition to that, we wanted to adapt the requirements for the initial issuance of the label code to the circumstances of the track-based remuneration for rights ownership. As a consequence, we have slimmed down the process”, explains Dirk Löwenberg, Head of the Rights Holders’ Service division for producers & promoters.
Producers: Special distribution for private copying launched for the years up to 2015
For this special distribution, there will not be any detailed statements, since the broadcast minutes of the respective distribution years were used as a basis for the calculation of the distributable amounts.
Since last year, there are special regulations relating to legal taxation aspects for the payout notifications. You can access further information here.
