Copyright Legal Protection on Ownership of the Song “Majulah, Jayalah STA” (Study of the Supreme Court Decision No. 279 K/PDT.SUS-HKI/2020)

Abstract

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are exclusive rights born from human intellectual abilities. In IPR there is copyright, which is the creator's exclusive right that arises automatically within a work. One object that is protected by copyright is a song. Violations of copyright, especially songs, are still rife in Indonesia, as in the case of Decision No. 279 K/Pdt.Sus-HKI/2020. This research was conducted to determine the subject matter and legal protection for the creator of the song object of the case. The author uses a normative juridical approach with descriptive-analytical research specifications and qualitative descriptive analysis methods. The results of this study indicate that the Panel of Judges has provided legal protection for PT STA as the creator and interested parties based on Article 33 paragraph (1) jo. Article 34 Law No. 28 of 2014 concerning copyright, states that PT STA is proven to be the party that designed, led, and supervised the process of working on the song object of the case. The author suggests that the public always checks and records their creations for clearer legal protection.
