Distribution spotlight
Significant Royalty Distribution for VOD Services
The VOD area includes a significant royalty payment for subscription-based VOD services. This applies to services such as Disney+, HBO Max, Nordisk Film+, SkyShowtime, and others, covering royalty payments for the first half of 2025.
In addition, there is a quarterly royalty payment for TV2 Play (both On Demand and Flow) for the third quarter of 2025, as well as for Netflix and Viaplay for the first quarter of 2025. There is also a royalty payment for C More VOD for the entire year of 2024, where the amount paid comes from TV distributors’ payments for VOD in “mix-and-match” packages.
Online services – Final distribution for Music Streaming
The December distribution includes a substantial final distribution of so-called residual amounts from music streaming services. These are remaining amounts that Koda receives when a claiming period has ended and which are added to works from the primary royalty payments within the area and period.
For Spotify and YouTube, these final distributions cover 2023, while for Apple Music they cover the period 2020–2023. This is due to a large back payment from Apple that Koda recently received.
Starting next year, the music streaming area will no longer be licensed via Polaris Hub, and the collaboration with NMP will also end. Going forward, processing in this area will take place in cooperation with BMAT
Concerts and Background Music
For concerts, royalty payments are now being made for this year’s editions of Roskilde Festival and Smukfest.
In the background music area, royalty payments are being made for the first half of 2025 for background sections based on reporting from other representative performance areas. There is also a general final royalty payment for 2024 across the area, which includes background sections where amounts remain to be distributed.
NCB
The December distribtion includes a semi-annual royalty payment from NCB for the sale of physical releases. In addition, there is a royalty payment for mechanical rights on streaming services and YouTube in the USA, which NCB has received through a new collaboration with the companies MLC and Orfium.

How much will I get paid?
The royalty payment we send to you for the use of your music is based on several factors, depending on where the music is used. For example, on TV and radio, we talk about minute values, whereas streaming is based on the number of streams. Concerts are paid out based on the number of attendees and, among other things, ticket prices if any.
Next distribution is 22 January
