Teosto is a Finnish collective that administers copyright for musical works on behalf of composers, lyricists, and publishers.

It collects royalties from users of music and distributes payments to its rights holders. Through these functions, Teosto supports the use and remuneration of musical works in Finland.

In its operations, Teosto maintains a repertoire database and sets licensing terms for different types of music usage. It interacts with members to ensure accurate registration of works and correct distribution of earnings. The organization also engages with international rights networks to coordinate cross-border licensing and royalty flows.

In everyday language, speakers may use other forms such as Teoston tiloissa (in Teosto’s premises) or simply refer to Teosto in the genitive, depending on the sentence structure.
