Claiming unpaid royalties for physical music media
These types of use fall within the following distribution categories:
-
Music on physical media reproduction right (MT VR)
-
Mixed content on physical media reproduction right (GT VR)
Latest update:
As previously announced - we carried out the final regular distribution for categories Phono VR and BT VR on July 1, 2025. The next distribution will take place within the new categories MT VR and GT VR on November 1, 2026.
This change results from the new regulation of the reproduction and distribution sector for physical media, which was adopted with Proposal 23 at the General Assembly 2024.
As soon as the first distribution in the new categories takes place, we will provide timely information about the applicable claim period.
