Abstract

The development of digital streaming platforms has changed the way music is distributed and consumed in Indonesia. On the other hand this development has also created legal problems in the form of massive copyright infringement through unlicensed uploads and unregulated music sharing. This phenomenon not only harms creators as copyright holders but also disrupts the economic sustainability of the national music industry. The main problem in this research is the weakness of the existing legal framework in providing effective protection for copyright holders of musical works in the digital space. This study aims to analyze the legal regulations regarding copyright protection for musical works on digital platforms and examine the effectiveness of law enforcement against copyright infringement in the digital music ecosystem. The research method used is normative legal research with a statute approach and a case approach. The legal materials used consist of primary secondary and tertiary legal materials obtained through library research and analyzed qualitatively. The results show that copyright protection for musical works in Indonesia has a legal basis through Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and various derivative regulations. However enforcement of these regulations still faces obstacles including the cross-border nature of digital platforms the difficulty of tracking perpetrators and the limited human resources of law enforcement agencies. Based on the theory of legal protection and the concept of copyright a more comprehensive regulatory harmonization is needed along with strengthening the role of digital platform providers in preventing copyright infringement through more effective monitoring and reporting mechanisms.
