Where can I find information about my remuneration?
On 10 and 11 April 2024, the collecting societies for neighbouring rights in the DACH region met in Berlin. GVL hosted the event and warmly welcomed colleagues from Swissperform in Zurich and LSG in Vienna.
The agenda of the annual event included a general exchange of experiences as well as the presentation of best practices and current technical and legal issues. Discussions also focussed on opportunities for closer cooperation.
As of today, GVL will complete the payouts for the subsequent distributions sound recordings 2020 to 2022 to its rights holders. The individual distribution results as well as the corresponding payout notifications for additional remuneration are available on the label.gvl portal with immediate effect.
A total of around EUR 3.4 million will be distributed this time, around half of which will come from our two neighbouring countries Austria and Switzerland. Further payments will be forwarded for usages in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Sweden, and the USA, among others.

Venues in German.
We are observing with concern the strengthening of right-wing extremist forces in Germany and the inhuman expulsion plans of racist groups. The conference in Potsdam uncovered by the non-profit research centre Correctiv, at which the expulsion of millions of people from Germany was discussed, is a further transgression that is absolutely shocking and must not go unchallenged (to the Correctiv report).
The plans under discussion are directed against the existence of people in our country and represent an attack on the Basic Law.
From now on, GVL rights holders can submit their contribution notifications for “radio/TV extra formats” (formerly “open budgets”) for 2020. These are contributions to productions such as advertisements, jingles or productions with a documentary character. More information can be accessed in our FAQs under “What are radio and TV extra formats? Which budgets belong to them?“.
