Tallennusoikeus

Tallennusoikeus refers to the legal right to record or reproduce copyrighted material. In Finland, this right is primarily governed by copyright law (Tekijänoikeuslaki). Generally, copying copyrighted works without permission from the copyright holder is prohibited. However, Finnish law includes certain exceptions that allow for private copying under specific circumstances.

These exceptions often permit individuals to make copies of copyrighted material for their personal, non-commercial use. This can include recording television or radio broadcasts for later viewing or listening, or making a backup copy of a purchased digital work. The scope of private copying is limited and does not extend to sharing these copies with others or using them for public performance.

Furthermore, Finnish copyright law also addresses the concept of private copying remuneration. This is a levy collected on certain recording devices and blank media, such as USB drives and smartphones. The funds collected through this remuneration are then distributed to copyright holders as compensation for the private copying that is permitted by law. The specific rates and distribution mechanisms are determined by relevant authorities. It is important to consult the current legislation or legal experts for precise details regarding tallennusoikeus and its limitations in Finland.
