Verwertungsgesellschaften

Was sind Verwertungsgesellschaften?

Dies sind die Organisationen, die für das Tracken, Sammeln und Auszahlen von verdienten Tantiemen an Urheberrechtsinhaber verantwortlich sind. Dies ist ein Sammelbegriff für alle Organisationen, einzeln werden sie auch als Verwertungsgesellschaften oder Organisationen für die kollektive Rechtewahrnehmung bezeichnet. Im Wesentlichen: Verwertungsgesellschaften nehmen ganz andere Rechte wahr als ein Distributor und können sehr nützlich sein, um zusätzliche Tantiemen zu verdienen.

Muss ich bei einer Verwertungsgesellschaft registriert sein, um meine Musik mit iMusician zu vertreiben?

Nein, die Registrierung bei einer Verwertungsgesellschaft ist keine Voraussetzung, um deine Musik über iMusician zu vertreiben.

Was ist eine IPI- / CAE-Nummer?

Die IPI- / CAE-Nummer ist eine internationale Identifikationsnummer, die Songwritern und Verlegern zugewiesen wird, um Rechteinhaber eindeutig zu identifizieren. Sie bedeutet, dass dein Künstlername rechtlich immer zu dir zurückverfolgt werden kann.
