The new AI-related category of rights allows Teosto to protect your rights more effectively by reserving the rights related to works with regard to both music and graphic representations of lyrics. Reserving the rights means that the works cannot be used without permission for text and data mining (Copyright Act, section 13b), which is one of the limitations of copyright and may be part of the training of AI.
The new AI-related category of rights makes it possible for our members to remove the category of rights concerning AI use from Teosto’s administration with a single selection. The removal of the category of rights from Teosto’s administration can be carried out by using a form available on Teosto’s web service.
After the removal, the works will no longer be included in Teosto’s future licensing deals concerning AI use. This means that the works will be subject to the rightholder’s self-administration with regard to AI use, and the rightholder must personally see to agreements concerning the use of the works and the protection of the rights.
