Musiikinhallinnassa

Musiikinhallinnassa is a Finnish term that describes the state or status of music in terms of its administration, licensing, or management. It is a compound of musiikki (music) and hallinta (management, administration), with the inessive suffix -ssa indicating location or state, yielding the sense “in music management.”

Usage and meaning

In everyday language the expression can indicate that a work, an artist, or a repertoire is under the supervision or control of a music rights administrator, a publisher, or a management entity. In legal and industry texts, it is used to refer to who holds the rights to licensing, royalties, and dissemination of music. In Finland, rights management is typically handled by music publishers and collecting societies, such as Teosto, Gramex, or similar bodies, and the phrase may be used to specify which party is responsible for a given set of rights. The exact interpretation is context-dependent and can range from artist representation to the administration of rights for a specific track or catalogue.
