Already earlier this month, international revenues were distributed to the entitled performing artists. Now, as planned, the remuneration for recording producers 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.
The most important events in the international calendar of events include the General Assembly of the International Confederation of Performers' Rights Societies (SCAPR) and the meeting of international producers' representatives in the Performance Rights Committee (PRC Meeting): Both meetings took place in May and GVL was present as one of the leading societies.
At the meeting, among other things, the year-end accounts and the transparency report 2022 were adopted and decided upon. Details can be found in the current press release (14 June 2023).
Furthermore, the Associates' and Delegates' Assembly approved further grants within the framework of the Ukraine aid against the background of the ongoing war.
In this distribution round, a total of approximately 2.6 million Euros from all over the world will be distributed to our rightsholders this time.
This time, our recording producers receive remunerations from Great Britain, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania and the USA, among others. Moreover, we forward money to our performing artists from Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Austria and others. For the first time, our musicians also receive usage-based payments from Brazil.
"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.

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.
The dates are continuously updated. We provide you with updates here on www.gvl.de and via our social media channels regarding all news about GVL payouts.
Very important! Some distributions have registration deadlines. Please check here about deadlines for performers and on label.gvl about deadlines for producers.
GVL is closing the distribution for the usage years 2017 and 2018 with this final distribution. All funds, including available reserves for these years, will be distributed. Remuneration from the so-called “open budgets” such as jingles or advertising are included in this distribution run for the first time.
