PROGRAM REPORTING FROM OUTSIDE AUSTRIA

The report­ing from events out­side Aus­tria has to be con­duct­ed by the respec­tive affil­i­ate com­pa­ny or CMO, includ­ing the setlist of the pieces per­formed. The basis for the dis­tri­b­u­tion of roy­al­ties is this reg­is­tra­tion of the event itself. For that rea­son, it is rec­om­mend­ed to take the step of cross-check­ing your setlist with that of the event orga­niz­er and to ask for a copy of that event registration.

The pro­gram report­ing in the ser­vice por­tal con­sti­tutes a ser­vice for our mem­bers, yet does not replace the event reg­is­tra­tion on the part of the event orga­niz­er. In case of any dis­crep­an­cy between the pro­gram report done through our ser­vice por­tal and the event reg­is­tra­tion done by the event orga­niz­er, the roy­al­ty dis­tri­b­u­tion pro­ceeds on the basis of the event reg­is­tra­tion by the event organizer.

The pro­gram report­ing in the ser­vice por­tal serves the fol­low­ing purpose:

1. to inform our respec­tive affil­i­ate CMO about the event which has tak­en place. In case of an event orga­niz­er fail­ing to reg­is­ter the event, the affil­i­ate com­pa­ny can get in touch with the event orga­niz­er in order to enable the roy­al­ty dis­tri­b­u­tion calculation.
2. in case no funds from the inter­na­tion­al per­for­mance arrive, the pro­gram report­ing can serve as the basis for any poten­tial com­plaint if it is sub­mit­ted with­in the dead­lines (see below).

Pro­gram report­ing both for pop and clas­si­cal music has to be done through the ser­vice por­tal www.akm-aume.at. Pro­gram report­ing by email or post unfor­tu­nate­ly can­not be accept­ed. Detailed infor­ma­tion about report­ing can be found here: Guide­lines for Report­ing from Out­side Aus­tria.

For the authors of clas­si­cal music: there is cur­rent­ly no spe­cial sep­a­rate process for pro­gram report­ing enter­ing of this kind. In case it isn’t obvi­ous exact­ly how many musi­cians are in a giv­en orches­tra, you can instead enter in your own name for the blank that says “Music group” and for the num­ber of groups, you can enter in “1”.

Should you not yet have login info, you can request that here. Please take note that it is not per­mis­si­ble to give your login data to third par­ties such as pub­lish­ers or labels.

Report­ing for Italy through the ser­vice por­tal is unfor­tu­nate­ly not pos­si­ble because only pro­gram report­ing that is con­duct­ed through the SIAE web­site is accept­able. This has to be coor­di­nat­ed with the event orga­niz­er and report­ed direct­ly through the web por­tal of the SIAE here:
https://www.siae.it/it/utilizzatori/bordero/

Pro­gram report­ing should be sub­mit­ted only for pub­lic events since in case of pri­vate events, no roy­al­ties can be paid out.

For events out­side Aus­tria, only musi­cal per­for­mances can be charged by AKM for roy­al­ty pay­ments. The col­lec­tion of roy­al­ties for the pre­sen­ta­tion of lit­er­ary works or mod­er­a­tion has to be done through CMO “Lit­er­ar Mechana”.

In case of sev­er­al events abroad involv­ing per­for­mances with the same exact pro­gram, one indi­vid­ual pro­gram report for each event nev­er­the­less has to be sub­mit­ted. There is how­ev­er the option in the ser­vice por­tal to cre­ate a setlist which you can then apply to your pro­gram report­ing entry.

The form has to be filled out com­plete­ly so that the works are assigned to the right com­pos­er and so that the right ver­sion of the work per­formed can be cal­cu­lat­ed for roy­al­ty pay­ment (for exam­ple, with or with­out the accom­pa­ni­ment of an arranger). Please take a moment to enter in the exter­nal reper­toire into the pro­gram list that was played at the live per­for­mance. Your fel­low col­leagues will look for­ward to com­pen­sa­tion for their pro­tect­ed works as well! Please make sure that your works have been report­ed with us. This speeds up processing.

No, since due to tech­ni­cal rea­sons, only the online report­ing ⎯ and not the print­ed pro­gram book­lets ⎯ can be for­ward­ed on to our affil­i­ate CMOs.

No. Pro­gram report­ing pri­or to the actu­al event will not be accept­ed by our affil­i­ate CMOs.

Pro­gram report­ing for per­for­mances out­side Aus­tria are for­ward­ed on to the respec­tive respon­si­ble affil­i­ate CMO for fur­ther assess­ment. The ear­li­er that the infor­ma­tion about the event tak­ing place arrives to our affil­i­ate CMOs through our ser­vice por­tal, the faster that the dis­tri­b­u­tion of roy­al­ties can be cal­cu­lat­ed accord­ing­ly. For that rea­son, it is rec­om­mend­ed that you sub­mit the pro­gram report­ing as quick­ly as pos­si­ble after the event.

Gen­er­al­ly speak­ing, a dead­line applies for live per­for­mances 3 years after the year of the event up until the end of Novem­ber of the respec­tive year at the lat­est.
Please take note of the fol­low­ing exceptions:

• USA: Due to U.S. roy­al­ty dis­tri­b­u­tion reg­u­la­tions, events from 1/1 to 31/12 of the pre­vi­ous year can only be report­ed up to the 1st of April of the cur­rent year at the latest.
• UK-PRS: Due to U.K. roy­al­ty dis­tri­b­u­tion reg­u­la­tions, the event date can only be up to a max­i­mum of 10 months pri­or to today’s date.
• Spain-SGAE: Due to the spec­i­fi­ca­tions by the Span­ish affil­i­ate CMO, the date of the event can only be a max­i­mum of 10 months pri­or to the cur­rent date.
• Italy-SIAE: Report­ing through the ser­vice por­tal is not pos­si­ble since SIAE only accepts pro­gram report­ing through their own web­site. This has to be coor­di­nat­ed with the event orga­niz­er and sub­mit­ted direct­ly through the SIAE web portal:
