Overview on upcoming distributions

Supplementary distribution of private copying collections 2008/2009 (ZPÜ)

With a few clicks, the artist can confirm, enrich or reject this proposal on www.artsys.gvl.de. This new functionality will be further developed successively. These proposals are increasingly being supplemented on the basis of our product data and the relevant contributors. In future, this function will be available to all media areas.

The 62 page long annual report with the transparency report includes year-end accounts, position report and auditors’ notes, as well as detailed market-specific key performance indicators for financial year 2016.  The initial part of the report also includes a demonstrative description of the organisational development during the last year.

With this election, the previous Board members were replaced by the new delegates in their capacity as rights holders’ representatives.  They jointly represent the interests of all rights holders together with the associates of GVL in the new Associates’ and Delegates’ Assembly.  Furthermore, a record level in terms of collections for 2016 was announced - projected to be well in excess of EUR 200m for the first time.

“We are saddened and shocked by the sudden and unexpected death of our Board member, Frank Dostal, who has served GVL for many years.

Please note that from the time where all your documents have been completely submitted, about one week will be required for processing and completion of the agreement. Rights holders who submit contractual documentation at a later date can, unfortunately, not be taken into consideration for administrative reasons.

The registration deadline has thus been extended by about 2 weeks after 31 March 2017. Our rights holders have therefore time until Easter Sunday 2017 to register their contributions with us. We can, however, not guarantee a pay-out for any contribution registrations that relate to said period that are made after the deadline has lapsed. 

For all distribution years from 2013 onwards, you may, of course, also register your contributions after 16 April 2017. Such contribution registrations are going to be included in later distributions.

Regarding your contribution registration for productions of the open budgets broadcast between 2010 and 2012, you will have time until 2019 to complete these. The first distribution for such budgets (with the exception of the recordings not used for broadcasting purposes) shall take place as soon as at the end of 2017, the closing/final distribution will be made in 2020.
