Interview: Musical pro bono work crosses borders
“Musicians without borders” is a global network of creative music projects which intends to enable people to access music, in particular to learn how to play an instrument, irrespective of their backgrounds, and to thus use the power of music for social change.

“The distribution backlog is no more”
The time for a double final distribution is over from 2023. Time to rejoice?
For GVL, the answer is a clear yes. After all, it means that we managed to finally dissolve the long backlog that we had for years when it comes to the final distributions. And for our rights holders, it means they get paid more quickly in the end.

GVL forwards foreign remuneration
"We are especially happy for our actors and actresses because they will receive remuneration from France for the first time. After many years of negotiations and one year after signing the contract, we initially received about 1.5 million euros from our French sister society ADAMI, which we are now delighted to pass on," summarises Burkhard Sehm, Head of Legal and Business Affairs.
GVL forwards foreign remuneration to performing artists and recording producers
Already earlier this month, international revenues were distributed to their entitled recording producers. Now, as planned, the remuneration for performing artists will follow these days. As in the previous year, we have thus achieved our goal of distributing royalties from abroad to our rightsholders on a quarterly basis.
Approximately 1.6 million Euros will be distributed to our rightsholders this quarter. This means that in 2022, we will have distributed about 10 million Euros from abroad to our entitled performing artists and recording producers.
Performers: Reporting deadline for distribution year 2019 on Feb. 28, 2023.
This reporting deadline does not apply to the so-called "open budgets" (e.g. individual contributions in shows, commercials, documentary formats) and the extended protection period for sound recordings according to §79a. We will inform you separately about the corresponding reporting options and deadlines in due time.
