Perlindungan Hukum atas Hak Royalti Lagu pada Media Streaming

Abstract

Royalties are rewards for the use of the economic rights of creation or the related rights received by the creator or owner of the related rights. To obtain royalty rights, the creator must register his/her creation with the collective management institution in order for the creator to receive his/her rights. This research aims to find out the implementation of the Indonesian song copyright royalty system through streaming media and to know the efforts and role of the Indonesian government in protecting the rights of musicians to obtain royalty in the Popular Music Industry of Indonesia. This research uses normative research methods. The results of this study showed that the implementation of the royalty system in Indonesia through streaming media is not enough to be relied on as revenue for Indonesian musicians because there is still a lot of piracy and use of song copyright works from musicians without permission, hence many economic rights of the songs created can not be enjoyed by musicians. The government's efforts to protect the rights of creators by seeking the establishment of copyright association institutions to provide guaranteed legal certainty over the rights of songwriters circulated in streaming media.
