The amendment to the Articles of Association required for the Assembly of Rights Holders to be held virtually had already been cleared in the November meeting.
The Assembly of Rights Holders is held every four years. In the 15 group assemblies, the rights holders elect up to 22 delegates and 22 alternate delegates. Together with the four shareholder representatives, they make up the 26-member Assembly of Shareholders and Delegates.
What is your conclusion for the creative sector in 2020?
The current payouts by CMOs/MLCs relating to past performance periods are not taken into account when calculating turnover under the support programmes.
Dear rights holders,
Tomorrow, GVL will begin with the payouts of the remuneration in the course of its initial distribution 2019 (except music video clips) and the subsequent distributions 2015 to 2018.
Please note:
The agenda items for the meeting of the 26-member governing body which consists of four Associates and 22 Delegates were, among others, the approval of the support projects for 2021, modifications of the Articles of Association as well as a critical debate regarding the draft version of the new copyright law.
Dear GVL members,
At the beginning of September we informed you that you can now report your contributions to productions of the open GVL sub-budgets (e.g. commercials, jingles, documentary formats). For this purpose we have set up an online form on our homepage.
We would kindly like to remind you to notify us by 31.12.2020 of your contributions to the relevant products in case they were broadcast from 2010 to 2014, so that we can remunerate them.
The open GVL sub-budgets include:
Furthermore, GVL is going to run a final distribution for producers on the basis of the new Collecting Societies Act for the first time this year in December.
Enough good reasons in order to register as a rights holder with us, to keep your registered repertoire up to date and to look after conflict resolution and claims of “open” usages regularly.
What else is on the agenda for you?
Granting this prize is an important sign in these difficult times for the German creative sector, that is why GVL is particularly pleased that it is going to support the awards ceremony as part of its politico-cultural grants. Warm congratulations to all prize winners of the Opus Klassik, in particular Stephan Frucht, who is also a Delegate of GVL for the conductors.
