The licence for consulting activities for solo entrepreneurs allows you, for example, to copy and include copyrighted material in your slideshows and to use AI responsibly. The licence for training and course activities allows you to use copyrighted materials when no ready-made, published training materials are available. You can obtain just one or even both licences, depending on your needs.

On this page we answer to the questions about the AI extension in the licence which we offer for companies and other organisations.

If your company or organisation offers consulting services or training and course activities to third parties – such as customers or partners – you can supplement your copying licence with additional licences for these purposes. The additional licences allow you to legally use copyrighted materials, such as articles, books and online content, as part of your expert services.

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in working life increases, so do the legal risks associated with copyright in businesses. Starting from the beginning of next year, we will expand our copying licence for businesses and public administration organisations to cover the feeding of third-party material into AI through prompts. We will also offer a licence for training a business’s in-house AI. This will allow organisations to use AI legally in compliance with copyright.

The copyright system is being challenged by the rapid development of generative AI models. Creative work is used as a raw material of AI without authors’ consent, while the recent implementation package of EU’s AI Act favors the tech giants. We interviewed international copyright organization IFRRO’s experts about the current state of EU regulation in AI and copyright.

In their statement, the organizations encourage all AI companies to proactively engage with rightsholders and Collective Managements Organisations (CMOs) to respect creators’ rights.

We interviewed our member organisations about the changes to creative industries brought on by artificial intelligence. Creative industry organisations are calling for transparency regarding the training material for AI, as well as swiftness in compiling regulations. There is also need for shared discussions and developing shared practices in the field.

In today’s digital world, it is very easy to reuse copyrighted texts and images found on the internet in the operations and internal communications of your business. However, copying, distributing or storing works usually requires the permission of the authors and publisher. By purchasing a copying licence for the internal use of your company, you are acting responsibly and adhering to the Copyright Act.
