These days, collective rights management also means that huge data volumes must be processed.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In order for you to participate in the final distribution the productions to which you have contributed, must have been broadcast on the radio or on TV in 2019.
