EUR 5.56m are available for this payout run. The money originates, among others, from Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. Contribution notifications submitted to meine.gvl are the basis for this payout. 

GVL has also been able to establish a continuous distribution rhythm in terms of passing on international revenues. 

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.  

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.
