COPYRIGHT ISSUES

Copyright Issues in Indonesia

Since the advancement of technology grows very rapidly the awareness on copyright issues have become major factors that must be paid serious attention.

After browsing the internet, I found the site of Indonesian copyright law on the following address: http://www.hukumonline.com/pusatdata/downloadfile/lt5460687f0c59d/parent/lt5460681737444. In case of Indonesia, The copyright law has been issued by the House of Representative dated 16  September 2014. There are more similarities between the Indonesian Copyright Law and the U.S. Copyright law such as in terms of Ownerships of copyrights protected, which should be given credits to their work. However the differences between   can be seen in the following table:

Indonesian Copyright law
The U.S Copyright Law
Ownership of copyright (published or unpublished) lasts during the life of author and 25 years after death
Ownership of copyright (published or unpublished) lasts during the life of author and 70 years after death
Published:

95 years for “work for hire”
Unpublished:
120 years for “work for hire”

  1. The table only has two rows and information is missing. It does not seem complete. There is too little information. You also have extra text in the entry. The text is formatted a bit strange. Not very visually appealing.
