German term or phrase: Auswertung vs. Verwertung
Hi,

Upon googling this a bit, just wondering whether they are the same thing and thus both mean utilisation? But then this is just a gut feeling.

Context: confidential. The musical performances and recordings of artists are supposed to be ausgewertet and verwertet. Royalties and stuff, artist vs. label, copyrighted works, that sort of thing.

They are using Verwertung for sale, rental, etc. on image and sound carriers, online, etc. and Auswertung in regard to earning from providing any ancillary rights in the protected musical works or their originators (the artists), like concert tours, band merch, advertising, in return for payment.

Cheers,

Sebastian Witte

Analyzed and used OR Analyzed and monetized


Explanation:
Auswerten means to analyze or review something. Verwerten means to make use of something in various ways - in this case making money off of royalties, copyrights, etc.
Breaking down this sentence: first they analyze the musical performances and recordings, in order to figure out how to make money off of them.

neutral  D. I. Verrelli: I'd be cautious about using "exploitation", because it can have very strong negative connotations.

Reference: Not the same but part of the same process

Reference information:
It strikes me that in German a contrast is being made here between the part where the value is being analysed or evaluated or "aus"gewertet and then this value is being turned to benefit/profit. You should not use utilisation for both terms. You should use different terms to express the start and the end of the process.
