“The death of Martin Böttcher affected us profoundly. Martin Böttcher has not only left behind everlasting marks in music history as a composer and musician, he had also participated at the GVL Board with passion over many years,” says Dr. Tilo Gerlach, Managing Director of GVL.
Moreover, th
Florian Richter has left the Associates’ and Delegates’ Assembly as a delegate, as well as the Distribution Committee with effect from 21 November 2018. We would like to thank Florian Richter for his support at this point .
Richter’s successor for the music directors’ and artistic producers sector is, with immediate effect, Angelo D’Angelico. He had been elected at the last Rights’ Holders’ Assembly as a stand-in delegate. Moreover, D’Angelico will be a member of the Distribution Committee in future.
This means: Only such contribution registrations will be paid for which GVL already holds verified contribution registrations. These are mainly such registrations which have been used throughout 2010 to 2016. Registrations for used, new repertoire from 2017 are already possible for the sound recordings category. For any additional categories such as TV productions (AV) or radio productions, registrations can unfortunately only be submitted at a later stage. We are going to inform you accordingly at the appropriate time.
Since you are a producer participating in the distribution you will find your payout information as usual on www.label.gvl.de. Detailed reports and broadcast analyses for usage year 2016 and 2017 including previously allocated broadcast minutes shall be made available to you in the coming days.
Overview of the pending distributions and new dates for artists:
In order to enable this improvement, the service provider, BMAT, requires your repertoire data.
As far as the data is being made available by MPN/Phononet and you are a customer there, Phononet will require your permission to pass your data on. Detailed information on this matter can be accessed at: https://www.phononet.de/bemusterung-bmat-ueber-das-mpn/. The Phononet MPN Team is also happy to assist you with your queries, you can call them on +49 40 55493722 or e-mail them at musik-promotion@phononet.de.
We currently have not received enough notifications regarding the productions used in 2013. As a collective management organisation, we are obliged to ensure that as many rights owners as possible get paid, and would like to ensure this by extending the deadline. Furthermore, www.artsys.gvl.de was also not available throughout.
In order to be able to duly and diligently process your additional contribution registrations we will postpone the final distribution 2013 to the 2nd/3rd quarter 2019.
The modification of the distribution sequence is necessary in order to ensure a flawless and frictionless process of multiple and simultaneous distribution runs.
