Tekijanoikeuslaki Section 50, Press Publication Publisher Right

Section 50 gives the publisher of a press publication the exclusive right to determine over its publication by reproducing copies of it and communicating it to the public for a commercial purpose, in a way that lets a member of the public access it from a place and at a time individually chosen by them. The right does not apply to an individual user's private or non-commercial use of the press publication, a hyperlink, or an individual word or a very short extract of the press publication.

A press publication is defined as a collection composed mainly of journalistic literary works, not published for a scientific or academic purpose, that forms a separate periodically appearing or regularly updated issue under one title, aims to inform the public about news or other subjects, and is disseminated to the public by any medium at the publisher's initiative, editorial responsibility, and control.

The right lasts until two years have passed from the end of the year the press publication was published. It does not apply to a press publication first published before 6 June 2019. It leaves the author's own right in a work included in the publication untouched, and the author of such a work has a right to an appropriate share of the publisher's income from exercising the publisher's right.
