Litigation The firm appointed by the Chris Burden Estate (the “Estate”) to represent Nancy J. Rubins, the wife of the late Chris Burden (an American artist), in filing a copyright lawsuit against a Bandung theme park called “Rabbit Town” and its owner. The Estate claimed that an installation named “Love Light” displayed at Rabbit Town is infringing Chris Burden’s right as it is very similar to Burden’s artwork “Urban Light” which was installed in Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) since 2008.

The Plaintiff is supported by expert testimony from Miranda Risang Ayu, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D. which said that there must be at least two criteria to determine plagiarism in copyright: similarity and originality.

The defendant failed to prove that Love Light was independently created without taking inspiration from Urban Light, since the Plaintiff has managed to prove that the Defendant has access to the artwork by visiting Urban Light at LACMA. The Plaintiff also managed to prove the similarity in substantial part between Urban Light and Love Light. Considering the above, the Court found that the Defendants has violated Chris Burden’s copyright by copying and modifying it into Love Light, without permission from the Plaintiff and without mentioning the source of inspiration.

The Panel of Judges read the verdict No. 31/Pdt.Sus-Hak Cipta/2020/PN.Niaga.Jkt.Pst, as follows:

  1. Declare the Defendants has committed a copyright infringement;
  2. Take out the Love Light installation within 30 days after the decision become final and binding;
  3. Take out every merchandise, pictures, goods, related to Love Light;
  4. Pay 1 billion IDR compensation to the Plaintiff;
  5. Announce public apology to the Plaintiff in 3 (three) local newspaper and social media.
