The new Legal Deposit Act in Finland
The Ministry of Education Committee on Legal Deposit has published its report.
The report is written in the form of a draft government bill for a new Legal Deposit Act, which would repeal the current Legal Deposit Act and the Act on the Archiving of Films. Under the proposed act, legal deposit would cover not only traditional printed publications, audio and audiovisual recordings and films but also other recordings, electronic publications of Finnish origin available on open networks, and radio and television programmes.
