- Since 2017, new distribution rules apply to the calculation of remunerations for audio performers (commercially published phonograms and music videos). This year, for the first time, the limitation period for the remuneration for the usage of rights in 2017 will expire. With the final distribution 2017, reserves withheld for that year will be paid out to right holders.
