Lisäkäyttöoikeus

Lisäkäyttöoikeus, or "additional usage rights" in English, refers to the legal permissions granted to use copyrighted material beyond what is normally allowed by law or the standard license. These rights are typically negotiated and agreed upon by the copyright holder and the user, often involving a separate fee or agreement.

In many jurisdictions, copyright law provides certain exceptions and limitations to exclusive rights, such as for private study, research, or criticism. However, if a user wishes to engage in activities that fall outside these exceptions, such as extensive commercial reproduction, public performance, or adaptation, they may need to secure a lisäkäyttöoikeus.

Examples of situations where lisäkäyttöoikeus might be necessary include using a copyrighted image in an advertisement, incorporating a piece of music into a film, or distributing multiple copies of a literary work for educational purposes beyond fair use guidelines. The specific terms and conditions of a lisäkäyttöoikeus are determined by the parties involved and are usually documented in a licensing agreement. This agreement will outline the scope of the permitted use, duration, territory, and any associated royalties or fees. Without such an agreement, unauthorized use could constitute copyright infringement.
