Ministry of finance planning to cut AVEK's funding by half
More than a hundred organisations in the audiovisual industry and almost a thousand private individuals stood up in defence of AVEK in a public declaration submitted to decision-makers in early August. Despite this, the Ministry of Finance’s draft budget proposes a fatal cut in its appropriation for AVEK.
In addition to grants, culture needs functional structures
The creative industry has suffered severely from the limitations caused by the coronavirus. We are now constantly hearing cries for help from those working in culture: the industry needs support – more and faster. In his blog, our CEO Valtteri Niiranen points out that in addition to short-term measures, it is also important to look further, to the structures supporting the industry.
Kopiosto’s copyright remunerations to creative industries: EUR 66 million paid in 2020
In 2020, Kopiosto distributed almost EUR 66 million in copyright remunerations to performing artists, authors, publishers and producers. The amount of remuneration increased by an exceptional EUR 20 million from the previous year. The increase in distribution was due to the fact that last year, among other remunerations, a multi-year accumulation of remunerations was settled with APFI, which represents audiovisual producers.
According to an early 2021 study, there were no significant changes in private copying in 2020. A study performed by Taloustutkimus and commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Culture indicates that the total number of private copying in 2020 was about 258–276 million music or video files as legal private copies.
Kopiosto distributes an additional million euros to audiovisual authors
The remunerations distributed to the authors and performers of television programmes come from the allocations set aside from the compensation for private copying and remuneration for educational recordings paid in 2015–2017.
