Our next online seminar for producers and labels takes place on 26 May 2021 at 5pm [CET]. Apart from a short presentation of our producer portal label.gvl, we will focus on the topic of rights ownership records and how to manage them.
This goes hand in hand with significant steps to facilitate evidence submissions. “We wanted to make it as simple as possible to our producers to assign their rights to us. In addition to that, we wanted to adapt the requirements for the initial issuance of the label code to the circumstances of the track-based remuneration for rights ownership. As a consequence, we have slimmed down the process”, explains Dirk Löwenberg, Head of the Rights Holders’ Service division for producers & promoters.
For this special distribution, there will not be any detailed statements, since the broadcast minutes of the respective distribution years were used as a basis for the calculation of the distributable amounts.
Since last year, there are special regulations relating to legal taxation aspects for the payout notifications. You can access further information here.
If you have any questions, please contact us on label@gvl.de and +49 (0)30 48483-650.
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.
The invitations contain personal registration details for the participation to the BV2021. Furthermore, there will be general information regarding the event and the agenda, explanations regarding the online registration and the participation in the digital voting process as well as tips regarding candidatures.
Today, GVL is paying the remuneration in the subsequent distribution runs relating to usage years 2017 to 2019 to producers of sound recordings. Producers can access their individual distribution results with immediate effect in the portal label.gvl.
Among other things, you can obtain information on how the online registration, the digital participation and the election in the group assemblies will work. You will also find out how you can submit your candidature and which candidates are up for election in which group assemblies. We continually update the InfoPortal BV2021 and add new details to 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.
Individual distribution results will be shown on the label.gvl portal with immediate effect.
