Dansk Artist Forbund fordeler ophavsretlige vederlag musikudøvere og cirkusartister – penge der er opkrævet af Copydan og Gramex.
The rights funds are redistributed in two ways - either in the form of an individual rights payment for the use of content, or as a grant based on a project application.
The principles behind the distribution policy must be approved by the union's members and documented in an annual transparency report.
Collective Gramex and CulturePlus funds
The collective funds from Gramex and KulturPlus are distributed via Dansk Artist Forbund based on applications for project funding.
Projects must relate to the work of artists and musicians and can have artistic, career development, cultural or educational purposes.

The rights funds from Gramex and KulturPlus are earned by performers in connection with radio and TV playback via Gramex, and for compensation when selling blank media via KulturPlus (Copydan).
Collective rights funds are distributed by the Danish Artist Association to ensure diversity and to retain and develop talent.
Individual Copydan fees
Compensation is mainly distributed individually to soloists, singers and circus artists as payment for content retransmitted on TV, used for educational purposes or archival use.
The compensation is usually paid at the end of September and is calculated using registration data collected in collaboration with, among others, Performex.
For information about the basis for the remuneration paid, specification of the composition of the remuneration and deductions for administrative costs etc. contact Jens Skov Thomsen at Dansk Artist Forbund.
The collective part of the rights funds from Copydan is distributed to applications via the pools managed by Dansk Artist Forbund.
The rights funds from Copydan are collected via the organisations Verdens-tv, AVU-Medier and Copydan Arkiv. Read more about the organisations' collections at Copydan.dk
