tekijälatauksina

Tekijälatauksina refers to a concept in Finnish copyright law and practice. It translates roughly to "author's loading" or "author's upload." This term describes the act of an author or rights holder making their work available online, often for download or streaming, through their own channels. This can include uploading content to personal websites, blogs, or platforms where they have direct control over distribution.

The underlying idea of tekijälatauksina is that the author themselves is facilitating the dissemination of their creation. This contrasts with situations where a third party, such as a publisher or a streaming service, is the primary distributor. In the context of copyright, tekijälatauksina highlights the author's right to control the distribution of their work and to choose how and where it is made accessible to the public.

This concept is particularly relevant in the digital age, where authors have greater autonomy in self-publishing and distributing their content directly to their audience. It emphasizes the creator's agency and their ability to manage their intellectual property online. While the term itself is not a formal legal category with specific regulations, it reflects a practical aspect of copyright management and authorial control in the digital environment.
