Becoming a rights holder: Even simpler now
A few days ago, the new rights administration agreement has been published on the GVL website. What does this mean for GVL and its future rights holders specifically?
Jenny: GVL takes an important step in the direction of a paperless collective management organisation by opting for the new online rights administration agreement. Rights holders now have no longer paper in their hands, the entire process has been digitised entirely with the new rights administration agreement.
2022 - a review: GVL distributions to its rights holders higher than ever
A total of 13 national and four international distribution runs, GVL paid remuneration to more than 175,000 performers and producers last year. Despite another challenging year for the sector, an overall amount of EUR 240.9m were allocated. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, GVL has thus distributed approx. EUR 870m to its rights holders (2020: EUR 292m, 2021: EUR 337m).

GVL forwards foreign remuneration to performing artists and recording producers
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.
