Dear GVL members,
Events regarding the coronavirus have been developing extremely fast over the past few days. We know that many of you also find themselves in an exceptional situation. In addition to health concerns, economic aspects also play a major role, especially among our rightsholders.
Payments in relation to the initial and regular distributions are sub-totals. The final remuneration for the respective distribution year is always going to be calculated in the course of the final distribution after the registration phase has expired.
Should you have any questions, our support team is happy to help, please contact them at veranstalter@gvl.de or call +49 30 48483-855.
Please note: For the years 2013 and 2014, this constitutes another subsequent distribution. The final, or closing distribution for these years shall take place, as announced, in 2020.
In the case of the revenues of the first and subsequent distributions the amounts in question are always sub-totals. The final remuneration for the relevant distribution year will always be calculated in the course of the closing distribution once the registration phase has lapsed. Against this background, it is possible that there will be offsets in the subsequent distributions.
After having checked with our board and committees, we decided to postpone the back payment of the ZPÜ monies for 2010 as well as the back payment relating to the remuneration for newly released sound recordings without relevant broadcast usage (nrsTT) for 2010-2012 to the beginning of next year.
We hope for your understanding.
Our members can use the new function “open cases” now! On top of that, due to modernised procedures, contribution notifications can be handled more quickly and efficiently in a partly automated verification process.

At the same time, we carried out another distribution run for usage year 2016 and 2017 each. Transfers of the payments for the distribution proceeds have been launched.
Check label.gvl for more information.
We are planning the following distributions by the end of 2019:
Previous associates of GVL have been the Bundesverband Musikindustrie e.V. (Federal Association of the Music Industry, short: BVMI) and the Deutsche Orchestervereinigung e.V. (German Orchestra Association, short: DOV). In its role as an associate, the BFFS is going to represent particularly the interests of actors and dubbing actors in future.
The “direct distribution public performance” shall, in exceptional cases, also make it possible to compensate performances which previously could not be taken into account by the distribution system based on broadcast reports.
