GEMA

GEMA manages the copyrights to musical works in Germany and pays royalties to composers and lyricists.

What does that mean in detail?

Anyone performing live music publicly in Germany usually has to pay fees to GEMA. Promoters and bands report the performed works – with title, composer, publisher, and GEMA number. Correct reporting ensures fair compensation for authors.
