In 2013, the German Copyright Act extended the protection for sound recordings produced from 1963 onwards from 50 to 70 years.
Artists who were compensated at that time by a one-time payment (buy-out contract) for their participation in the recording are to receive an economic share of the proceeds from sales or digital uses such as streaming or downloading by the producers of sound carriers during the extended protection period. This remuneration is paid via GVL.
As announced, the GVL forwards royalties from abroad to its rights holders this quarter.
In this distribution round, royalties will be paid out from France, the Netherlands, Austria and Great Britain, among others. In total, the GVL will pay more than 4 million Euros to its artists and producers. The basis for this payout is the repertoire and participation reports on the GVL's online portals.
The recently concluded representation agreement for audiovisual productions with the Swiss SWISSPERFORM also leads to distributions to actors and dubbing actors for the first time.
