Transparency for our members thanks to a comparison distribution
The 2020 General Assembly adopted new share rules which massively simplify the GEMA distribution plan. This also means that the shares, i.e. percentages for the creators and publishers involved in a work (can) change. We would like to provide you as a member with the highest level of transparency regarding these changes. As a consequence, we have run a comparison distribution based on the usage data of the 2019 financial year and based on the documentation of August 2021. The following has been compared:
- A distribution based on the existing share rules (legacy/old distribution)
- A hypothetical distribution based on the new share rules (new distribution)
On the basis of this comparison distribution, so-called deviation reports have been generated. As a publisher, you should note that works with co-published creators have not been finally calculated yet and are therefore not meaningful. To facilitate the sorting out of these works, you find a list of impacted works here.
