Abstract

Criminal acts such piracy, copying, covering, distributing, and arranging musical works that belong to copyright holders, associated rights holders, and performers without a license or permission cannot be dealt with solely by illegal law enforcement under the Copyright Law. Furthermore, violators of piracy, song covers, music rearrangements without the consent of the copyright owners, associated rights, and performers shall face criminal penalties under Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014. This socio-legal research method study is a study that "integrates" doctrinal studies with social studies. In this study, using the postpositivism paradigm as the foundation of reality based on experience. To provide a sense of justice and legal certainty for copyright holders, connected rights, and future performers, the author's conclusions and recommendations are that the criminal provisions in Law No. 28 of 2014 respecting Copyrights that face juridical challenges should be reformulated. Besides, in the transition phase to the application of criminal sanctions provisions in the copyright law, Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Corruption as a legal subject in terms of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) and Law No. 28 of 2007 concerning General Provisions on Tax Procedures, the legal subject can be seen from the non-payment of license taxes to the state treasury as state income.

Abstract

Enforcement of criminal law within the Copyright Act alone is insufficient to effectively address acts of piracy, duplication, cover songs, distribution, and management of copyrighted music and songs. Offenders without a license/permit are subject to both criminal and civil sanctions. The Criminal Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright also imposes criminal sanctions for pirates, cover songs, and music rearrangement without permission from copyright holders or related rights. This study identifies two main issues. Firstly, there is a weak implementation of criminal sanctions in copyright law, particularly concerning juridical aspects in the formulation of criminal law provisions (penal policy). Secondly, there is a need for understanding among copyright holders, related rights, and offenders to operationalize law enforcement by employing other relevant laws outside copyright law. The use of criminal acts of corruption and taxation can be an effective effort to protect the law and ensure legal certainty. To address these issues, this research employs a socio-legal approach, which combines doctrinal studies with social studies. This integration is based on the belief that the rule of law cannot operate in isolation when dealing with copyright piracy of songs and music in Indonesia. The post-positivism paradigm underpins this study, acknowledging the reality based on experience while maintaining the researcher's objectivity towards the subject. Empirical verification, hypothesis testing, and maintaining a clear distinction between the researcher and the object under study are emphasized throughout this research.
