Legal Analysis

Development of music in Indonesia is very fast, as time goes by competition in the music industry is also increasingly stringent, the rise of the entertainment business today cause the music industry has become an industry that brings many advantages and is taken into account, it also causes the people involved in this industry have revenues rose sharply.

Many of the musicians, songwriters and composers vying to produce creative works in the form of a song or a good music, competition in the music industry is certainly motivated by the magnitude of the benefits of the music industry. No wonder all those involved in the industry also have a high income.

The amount of profit that can be earned in the music industry led to a lot of parties that commit fraud to take advantage in ways that are not justified, a violation in the field of music or songs that often occurs in Indonesia in general is piracy.

Song or music is a copyrighted work is protected under copyright. A songwriter has the exclusive right to publish or reproduce creations or give permission to others to do so in accordance with Act No. 19 of 2002 on Copyright.

Copyright infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights contained in it, namely the economic rights and moral rights, economic rights is the right to receive the economic benefits of Creation as well as products related rights and moral rights are rights inherent in the Composer or the perpetrator can not be eliminated or deleted without any reason.

The composer has the exclusive rights protected by law and the protection of the composer is not intended to economically disenfranchised of the works arising and the birth of his intellectual abilities.

Copyright itself is an exclusive right for the author or copyright holder to publish or reproduce his creations, which arises automatically once a creature born without reducing the restrictions under the legislation in force and under Article 2, paragraph 1 of Act No. 19 of 2002 on Copyright, a songwriter has exclusive rights to publish or reproduce creation and giving permission to another party, to do this right.

In the sense of "publish or reproduce", including activities translating, adapting, arranging, modify, sell, lease, loan, import, display, publicly perform, broadcast, record, and communicate a work to the public by any means. Based on those parties who wish to use any form of work of creation belongs to someone else, then he must first ask permission from the creator or the copyright holder.

In the case of unauthorized use of Radja's song and used for commercial purposes by Inul Vista karaoke can be categorized as a form of announcing and publicizing the activities of a work and done for commercial purposes, which is definitely going to be profitable for the owner of the karaoke, but on the other hand would be detrimental to the owner and moreover composer of the song has not been officially released.

Under Copyright law all those who use copyrighted works in the form of a song by someone else then that person is obliged to first ask permission of the copyright holders of the song and have to pay royalties if used for commercial purposes.

All forms of announcement and publication of a copyrighted work for commercial kepentian should the creators permission and no royalty payments, because the song / music is the intellectual property of the person.

Copyright law has provided space for the protection of works of art, especially the song and / or music that create an environment that will stimulate the creativity of the creator to produce creative works in the form of a song or musical quality.

Copyright holders and creators of the song certainly does not have the ability to monitor any use of copyrighted works owned by others, especially to find out how many songs copyrighted works have been played elsewhere, for they erected an institution that Cipta Karya Indonesia Foundation (YKCI) as facilitator between the creator of the users of copyrighted works, such as royalty payments are distributed through YKCI and issuing licenses to users and users of copyright.

YKCI have the right to collect royalties for the songs that users use the creator songs for commercial purposes. Like the songs used in the Karaoke place, including managed by Vizta Pratama.

Broadcast media such as television and radio stations. Concerts, cinema, digital transmission such as streaming video dams music, websites, music downloading.

  1. Anyone who intentionally and without right to publish or reproduce a work or permission for the members, shall be punished with imprisonment of 7 (seven) years and / or a maximum fine of Rp. 5,000,000,000,- (five billion rupiah).
