Some of the results obtained in the study are as follows: Until 12.06.1995, the producer of a movie can only earn copyright income for 20 years, while it is foreseen that the producer can earn income for 70 years from the date of publicity of the movie with the amendment made in Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works No. 5846.
