tekijänoikeussuojattujen

Tekijänoikeussuojattujen refers to works that are protected by copyright law in Finland. This protection automatically applies to original literary, artistic, and scientific works as soon as they are created. The creator of such a work is granted exclusive rights to control its use, reproduction, and distribution.

Copyright protection covers a wide range of creations, including books, music, films, paintings, photographs, computer programs, and architectural designs. The purpose of copyright law is to encourage creativity by ensuring that creators can benefit from their work and to provide a framework for the dissemination of cultural and intellectual property.

The rights granted by copyright are typically time-limited, after which the work enters the public domain and can be used freely by anyone. The duration of copyright protection varies depending on the type of work and national legislation, but in Finland, it generally lasts for the author's lifetime plus 70 years.

Unauthorized use of tekijänoikeussuojattujen works, such as copying, distributing, or performing them publicly without permission from the copyright holder, constitutes an infringement. Legal remedies for infringement can include injunctions, damages, and criminal penalties. Understanding what constitutes a copyrighted work and respecting these legal protections is crucial for individuals and organizations operating within the creative and information sectors.
