Film & TV Royalties

This asset features composition royalties from Johannes Vogel, an Austrian composer whose work spans television, film, and documentary programming. His body of work is anchored by placements in long-running European television, most notably Der Bergdoktor, a multi-season medical drama that has aired consistently since 2008, along with contributions to Wiener Blut (Vienna Blood), a globally distributed period crime series. Additional earnings are driven by U.S. true-crime programming, including Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda, which has demonstrated strong rerun value across multiple seasons, as well as documentary placements such as Ocean Wild, supporting a diversified mix of broadcast and background usage.

This asset is secured by both the composer’s existing works and any new compositions created during the term, providing exposure to a proven catalog alongside ongoing creative output.
 

How This Investment Works. As the winning bidder, you will collect 100% of payments for all existing and new works until you receive the fixed amount of $100,000 from this asset. 

Early Repayment. The seller of this asset can repay the remaining advance balance at any time. For example: If after two years, this asset has paid you $60,000 and the seller wants the royalty stream back, they can pay you $40,000 to reclaim the royalties.

This catalog cannot be added to the Secondary Market of The Exchange. 

What Is Being Sold. The seller’s interest in the songwriter's share of all public performance and mechanical royalties payable by AKM/AUME (Austro Mechana).

Earnings Note. AKM/AUME distributes a portion of royalties as lump-sum payments, which are non-itemized and not attributable to specific works, but are payable to the buyer. These payments are labeled as “Lump-Sum” in the track title and may also appear under the German term “Pauschalabrechnung” (often abbreviated as “Pauschalabre”). In some cases, these payments are not tied to a specific country and are labeled as “Unreported.”

Exchange Rates. Royalties for this asset are reported by AKM/AUME in Euros. To calculate royalty payments in U.S. Dollars (USD), Royalty Exchange applies the average historical exchange rate for the distribution month (via X-rates.com).

Future royalties will be paid to Royalty Exchange in Euros converted to USD upon receipt, and then paid in USD to the buyer. The receiving bank may increase the exchange rate by up to 2.5% as a transaction fee. 

Distribution Schedule. AKM and Austro Mechana (AUME) distribute royalties separately, resulting in two payments per quarter—one from AKM (public performance) and one from AUME (mechanical).
