All authors and the publisher are members of the German collecting society GEMA. GEMA represents our rights as authors and music publishers when it comes to publication and reproduction. It does not take into account our rights in so-called synergies, such as TV, film and advertising. Here the music publishers and authors grant the licenses for the use of the works themselves. Likewise for the use of the recordings that make the compositions audible, the ancillary copyrights.
Public broadcasters and production companies that produce films for these broadcasters have contracts with GEMA and GVL. Here our works can be used within the scope of the framework agreements with GEMA.
Co-productions or use on other distribution and usage channels require licensing.
So if you create works that use our music and these are not broadcast exclusively on German public TV and radio stations, then you need a license from us.
We calculate fees for composition and music production ourselves.
The synchronization right is granted by us. Here you can find the amount of the licenses in the license shop.
We will create an invoice for your order. This invoice will be paid in 4 installments. The details can be found in the Special and General Terms and Conditions.
Please note – We do not provide any unpaid advance services.
