• Resumen

  • The Finnish Government bill (HE 181/2014 vp) proposed, among others, new provisions for network recording (PVR) services in the Finnish Copyright Act (404/1961) (see IRIS 2015-2/15). In March 2015, the proposal was accepted by Parliament with some amendments. Later, the Act amending the Copyright Act (607/2015) introduced a new Section 25 l to the Finnish Copyright Act. During the legislative process, the Education and Culture Committee proposed minor amendments to the formulation of the provisions and required a right of refusal to be included in the Section. The amending Act entered into force on 1 June 2015.
