PlayRight has just carried out the final distribution of rights coming from music recordings that were broadcast and exploited in Belgium in 2016. This final distribution, which took place earlier than anticipated, amounts to 6.7 million € and closes the distribution of neighbouring rights for the reference year 2016.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The\ndistribution of neighbouring rights for music that was broadcast and\/or\nexploited in Belgium in 2016 has now officially been closed. This\ndistribution of <\/strong>6.7 million<\/strong> € for musicians was originally planned for the end of\nMay 2020, but PlayRight decided to advance it in order to give performers, who\nmay urgently need it in light of the current circumstances (COVID-19), a boost.<\/strong> This final distribution follows a first distribution\nof 3,460,000€ that was paid out in November 2017. As a performer (or a\nrepresentative of a performer), you now have six months to inform us of any\ndoubts and questions and to submit any objections or complaints concerning this\ndistribution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remunerations of these rights stem from the\nequitable remuneration, private copying and the lending right. These\nremunerations were collected as a compensation for music recordings that were\nbroadcast and\/or exploited Belgium in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
