Factors such as gender-specific differences in employment conditions, salary distribution and career opportunities within companies in the music industry will be investigated. In addition, insights will be gained into the influences of gender diversity on consumer purchasing decisions and user behaviour.

The significance of gender equality in the usage of music services from a consumer's point of view will also be examined for the first time. The results will be presented at Reeperbahn Festival in September 2021.

One year of corona: How would you summarise it?  

The State Ministry for Culture and the Media (BKM) confirmed to GVL as early as last year in consultation with the Federal Ministry of Economics that: Remuneration by collective management organisations/music licensing companies which are usually collected for previous years and are paid out now, have no impact on the extraordinary economic support measures granted by the Federal Government. 

In the two GVL talks held in February, the GVL staff welcomed parties interested in discussing their issues among actors (17 February) and producers (18 February). In total, more than 100 rights holders took part in the discussion rounds. 

Every four years, during the GVL Assembly of Rights Holders, the GVL rights holders elect 22 representatives for the Assembly of Shareholders and Delegates, one of the most important governing bodies of GVL. Delegates are elected for the 15 group assemblies. All rights holders can participate in the Assembly of Rights Holders and the election of representatives.  

The invites for the virtual Assembly of Rights Holders 2021 will be dispatched to our rights holders in April.

The dates are continuously updated. We inform you on www.gvl.de of all news regarding the GVL distributions.
