In this context, there are deadlines and new processes that you need to observe, since they are supported by the producer portal label.gvl.

In the course of the online seminar, Dirk Löwenberg (Responsible for the rights holder service for producers and event organisers) is going to provide information regarding the most important deadlines and procedures linked to the scheduled final distribution for 2016 to the producers of sound recordings.

Afterwards, there will be sufficient time for individual questions. 

When: 24/09/2020 at 5.00pm

The new version contains many extensions and additional functions and possibilities for repertoire management and conflict resolution. In this online seminar, Dirk Löwenberg (Head  of the Rights Holders Service for Producers & Event Organisers) will guide you through the new portal and present the various new features. The focus will be on showing how rights ownerships can be processed with little effort and what possibilities there are for a simple conflict resolution thanks to the new features.

With those new functions, GVL offers its producers of sound recordings and audiovisual recordings numerous new self-service functions, particularly in the area of repertoire management via label.gvl. Labels can now edit all their reported rights ownership details without much effort and at any time and have thus full control over their repertoire. This facilitates conflict resolution and supports the dynamics of the licensing market.

GVL is doing everything possible to provide the best possible support in this exceptional situation. In order to be able to provide visible help in the short and medium term, we established the € 250 emergency aid programme for freelance corona victims as quickly as possible in mid-March, which has since been taken up by well over 7,000 freelancers.

With the advance payments to its producers of sound recordings, which are starting right now, GVL is making a further contribution to the financial support of its rightsholders. By doing so, it intends to counteract the acute economic effects of the corona pandemic, especially on independent labels.

In addition to the "emergency relief", for which GVL will provide up to €4 million as part of its grants, other possibilities for short-term support, such as advance payments on future distributions, are also being firmed up. Rightsholders should be able to benefit from these measures as soon as possible.

At the same time, we carried out another distribution run for usage year 2016 and 2017 each. Transfers of the payments for the distribution proceeds have been launched.
