A musical work usually has multiple copyright holders: composers, lyricists, performers, arrangers and music sheet artists. While some of them are represented by other royalty collecting associations, the GEMA handles the invoice for for public performances for all. They also have contracts with similar organizations in other countries to collect the royalties in Germany from them.
If you want to play music not licensed by the GEMA you have to prove that absolutely none of their rights are violated. Not them. Even if the author claims that everything is CC-BY-SA or something. And you will be held liable if this is not the case. Also, a GEMA member has to license all of his past, current and future work to the GEMA. No exceptions.
Furthermore, all audio CDs produced in Germany are registered by the GEMA. Even those not licensed (directly or indirectly) to them.

O'wolf i know that GEMA will say that all music is Gema music, but there has to be a possibilty to find out which Music isnt gema and which is. -.- but the Gemawebsite for this is just a piece of s***

Sounds interesting, any update on this I`d love to have some industrial music.
I could get a hold of some open sorce music if that`d help.
How about black metal? doesn`t get any darker than that.
