Abstract:
Copyright is regulated in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright.
Licensing agreements are the main legal instruments that govern the payment of
royalties and the inclusion of the creator's name as a way of respecting moral
rights. However, in practice, legal protection for songwriters has not been
optimal due to low legal awareness among creators, weak law enforcement in
the digital space, and ineffective royalty management systems on digital
platforms. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, raise legal
awareness, and optimize the role of governments and digital platforms to create
a balance between freedom of expression and copyright protection in the digital
economy era.
