Prerequisites for receiving foreign remuneration are the reportings of participations and the registrations of repertoire in our online portals as well as the transfer of international rights management.

This distribution relates to sound recording productions in the years 1963/64 whose term of protection was extended from 50 to 70 years. As provided by law, GVL passes on 20% of the sales income from 2014 and 2015 to the contributing musicians who do not receive any licence payments.

These revenues relate to supplementary payments from the private copying section (ZPÜ monies) which GVL only received during the current financial year. The payouts will be made to rights holders who already received remuneration from the private copying section for 2008 and 2009.

The revenues from the distribution system which was income-based back then will be accumulated in proportion to the income received in arrears. In this supplementary distribution, about EUR 10m can be paid out to approx. 30,000 directly entitled rights holders.
