Auswertung vs. Verwertung
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.

[...] rights to the recordings will have
been granted to a performing rights society (Germany: GVL), by the singer and musicians as well as by the record label.

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

Verwertung = exploitation
I find the same translation also in the Collins and Pons dictionaries. They also agree on their opinion on the other term:
