GEMA Pays On Tunesat Detections

[Art Munson]

Just got this from Melissa at Tunesat so I thought I would post this. I’ve been a fan (and customer) of Tunesat for years, even before they were an advertiser.

For the first time ever, GEMA, Germany’s performance royalty society, paid additional performance royalties to Munich­ based publisher Intervox Production Music Publishing GmbH based on their submission of TuneSat broadcast detection data. Intervox’s windfall is a 1,000% (one thousand per cent) return compared to their TuneSat subscription cost. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130402005995/en

I can confirm that Intervox is dealing with Gema on this topic since a while and it looks like that their composers will get backpayments from 2010 and 2011 but it`s not 100% safe yet 🙂

Thats great that GEMA honored Tunesat’s detections and will pay out.  ASCAP needs to catch up. I feel like I made a mistake signing up with ASCAP!
