Beat Box GmbH identifies, claims and recovers uncollected neighbouring rights royalties across 47 collecting societies worldwide — on both the master recording and copyright side.
What We Do
We identify unclaimed and misdirected payments on the master recording and producer side across all major collecting societies — including SENA, GVL, PPL, SIMIM, SoundExchange and 42 more. Structural blind spots affect almost every major catalog. We find them.
Learn More →Our audits typically surface 23–38% additional revenue that was either unregistered, miscalculated or going to the wrong claimant. We audit statements from labels, societies and distribution platforms and build a full picture of what's owed.
Learn More →With clean, documented rights data, catalogs sell faster and at higher multiples. We prepare the data room, provide copyright and recording rights valuations, and support the full due diligence and deal process — for both buyers and sellers.

We map your catalog against our database of unclaimed registrations across 47 collecting societies. Within 5–10 days you receive a written gap report with estimated recovery potential — at no cost.
We submit the correctly formatted catalog to all relevant societies simultaneously. Correct ISRC-to-ownership mapping from day one, across all active markets.
Where another party — including a major label — has been collecting on rights they no longer hold, we initiate formal dispute procedures on your behalf.
All society correspondence, distribution monitoring and reporting consolidated into a single quarterly statement. One contact. All markets.
Why Beat Box
Founded by Jens Rose, who spent 8 years on the board of GVL — Germany's central neighbouring rights society. We know the system from the inside, including its blind spots.
Starting today doesn't mean leaving the past behind. Depending on jurisdiction, we recover 3–6 years of accumulated distributions — including funds wrongfully collected by others.
We only get paid when you do. No upfront retainers, no flat fees for exploratory work. The free gap analysis is exactly that — free.
We work across neighbouring rights (master/performer side) and copyright (publishing/composition side). Very few specialists cover both. We do — and the difference matters for catalog value.
US Artists & Producers
The USA did not sign the Rome Convention — but it ratified the WPPT in 2002. That means US performers and producers have a valid claim to neighbouring rights royalties from digital radio, streaming, simulcasting and app-based listening across Europe. Today that is the majority of all radio consumption.
GVL (Germany), PPL (UK), SENA (Netherlands) and 39 further European societies hold these royalties. Without a registered account and an active claim, the money sits — and after the statutory limitation period, it is redistributed permanently.
⚠ Hard deadline
GVL closes its 2022 distribution year permanently on 30 August 2026. Unclaimed funds are gone after that date.
