International

GEMA’s repertoire is used throughout the world. To make sure that our members receive remuneration for use of their music abroad, too, GEMA is linked with other collecting societies outside Germany in a network of so-called bilateral agreements, ensuring that rights on either side are both granted and exercised. Thanks to these, as a member you will receive payouts via GEMA for the use of your works outside Germany. To find out how we distribute licensing income in this area, see International.
