I want to release a DVD. What should I do?

Please send us a reproduction application first. You can easily do this via MyUnisono (FR - NL).

 

How much does it cost?

The rate amounts to 8% of the retail price (excluding VAT), with an absolute minimum of:

  • 0.2576 euros for 2 works / max. 10 min.
  • 0.3968 euros for 4 works / max. 20 min.
  • 0.8312 euros for 18 works / max. 80 min.

 

Are you reproducing an audiovisual work containing musical works from the Sabam repertoire?

Then you need a licence. You can easily take care of this online via MyUnisono. Select ‘audiovisual production’ and provide us with the filled in document. 

The fee corresponds to 3.5% of the wholesale price, taking into account the duration of the music in relation to the total duration of the film. Please note there is a minimum fee of 0.11 euros per copy (or per DVD if it concerns a box).

Are the director(s) and/or screenwriter(s) also affiliated to Sabam? Then you pay an additional fee that corresponds to 6.10% of the wholesale price (with a minimum fee of 0.19 euros per copy or per DVD if it concerns a box).

 

Please note it is not up to Sabam to decide whether or not you may use a certain song in an audiovisual work. You have to arrange this directly with the rightholders or their publisher and possibly the producer of the recording. You can look up the contact details of the rightholders online.
