A company’s copying licence allows for the legal use of works in the following cases, for example:
- The company’s employees copy and paste copyrighted texts and images into their own documents and presentation materials.
- An article is saved from the internet to a smartphone, tablet, computer or company server for work purposes.
- Newspaper articles are shared digitally with colleagues via email, intranet or Teams, for example.
- Copyrighted texts and images are shown in the company’s internal online meetings.
- Photos or drawings are included in a PowerPoint presentation used within the company.
- Research reports downloaded from the internet are printed out for work-related use and for later reading by those who downloaded them.
- A compilation of newspaper articles on an interesting topic is shared with colleagues.
- The company’s employees enter copyrighted text and images, or parts thereof, as prompts into the company’s closed AI application in order to generate summaries or translations or search for information and plan their own work, for instance.
To use works in your company’s external communications, you need the permission of the authors and publisher. If your company provides training and course activities or consulting services to customers or other external parties, you can obtain a separate additional licence for this purpose from us.
How to acquire a licence
Each company requires a separate copying licence. If you have multiple companies in your group, you can either purchase a centralised licence for the group or separate licences for each subsidiary. The price of a company’s copying licence is based on its industrial classification. You can check your company’s industrial classification at www.ytj.fi/en. You can purchase our copying licence or check the price of the licence in our licence store by entering your business ID.
