Compensation for private copying supports creative work. A total of EUR 11 million from the state budget is allocated for the compensation for private copying. EUR 5.5 million of the compensation for the private copying of audiovisual works is distributed through Kopiosto and AVEK, which operates under Kopiosto. Of this, EUR 3.0 million is paid directly to professionals in the audiovisual industry - 8,000 Finnish creators and performers in the creative field receive remunerations from Kopiosto from the compensation for private copying each year. Thus, it's an important additional source of income for creators. EUR 2.5 million is used to support the promotion of audiovisual culture - 140 film projects and media art works receive annual support from AVEK from the compensation for private copying. Thus it is support for the vitality of new culture and internationalisation of the creative industries. Examples of work: Virpi Suutari: Once Upon a Time in a Forest, 2024 Juha Suonpää: Lynx Man, 2023 Einari Paakkanen: Karaoke Paradise, 2022. Figures from 2023.

Compensation for private copying

The compensation for private copying is a statutory monetary compensation paid to creators of creative works for the right of each citizen to copy legal works for private use. The funds for the compensation are included in the state budget, and they are distributed to creators via Kopiosto and AVEK, which is a part of our organisation, among others.
