We pay copyright remunerations to more than 10,000 TV programme authors each year. However, programmes also accumulate remunerations that we are unable to pay due to insufficient author information. Are you the author we are looking for?

This week, we paid more than €11 million in copyright remunerations to the copyright holders of audiovisual works. The remunerations have been collected for the use of TV programmes presented in 2020.

The Finnish National Agency for Education has made an agreement with Kopiosto and APFI, an organisation representing the interests of producers in the field of audiovisual content production, on using copyrighted materials in teaching and early childhood education in 2021. The licences cover the copying of materials and presenting TV programmes in education.

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.

We negotiate the licence terms of using TV programmes in teaching on behalf of AV authors.

The Finnish National Agency for Education has acquired licences to record and perform TV and radio programmes in education and early childhood education and care from Kopiosto, broadcasting companies and Audiovisual Producers Finland APFI. The licence acquired by the Finnish National Agency for Education applies to pre-school, comprehensive school and upper secondary school education and free vocational education leading to a qualification.
