Indonesia's Copyright Law grants exclusive economic
rights. Local musicians express concerns over recent CMO
provisions.
Indonesia, as a signatory to the Berne Convention for the
Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1886), has demonstrated
its commitment to safeguarding economic rights in the realm of
intellectual property. This commitment is enshrined in Law No. 28
of 2014 on Copyright, commonly referred to as the "Copyright
Law."
Article 8 of the Copyright Law defines economic rights as
'the exclusive rights of creators or copyright holders to
derive economic benefits from their creative works.' Article 9
paragraph 1 of Copyright Law provides for exclusive rights to
publicate, reproduce, translate, adapt, arrange, transform,
distribute, perform, publish, communicate, and/or rent the
work.
