Autoripõhiselt

Autoripõhiselt is an Estonian term that translates to "royalty-based" or "based on royalties." It refers to a system or model where remuneration, distribution of profits, or access to something is determined by the amount of intellectual property rights or creative work generated or owned. This concept is frequently encountered in industries dealing with intellectual property, such as music, publishing, software, and film.

In the music industry, for instance, a royalty-based system ensures that artists and songwriters receive payments based on the sales, streams, or public performances of their music. Similarly, in publishing, authors might receive a percentage of book sales as royalties. The term can also apply to licensing agreements where users pay a fee based on the usage or distribution of a copyrighted work.

The core idea behind autoripõhiselt is the direct link between creative output and financial or access benefits. It emphasizes the value of intellectual property and aims to provide a framework for fairly compensating creators and rights holders. This model fosters an environment where investment in creativity is encouraged, as the potential for return is tied to the success and dissemination of the created works. The specific terms and percentages within an autoripõhiselt agreement can vary significantly depending on the industry, the nature of the intellectual property, and the contractual negotiations between the parties involved.
