Abstract:
Portrait is one of the copyrighted works that is protected by the law, namely Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. But in the practice often happen infringements of portrait which is the owned by a copyright holder such as portrait used by the magazine. Most photographers or copyright holder themselves do not know and less-understand about copyright and the laws that govern it. Generally, photographers or copyright holder do not know that his work is protected by the Copyright law and has never registered his creation with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights. The problem that arises now is how the legal protection of portrait works. The protection given to portrait works can be done in 2 ways, namely: first, preventively the protection given by the government with the aim to prevent the occurrence of infringements. And secondly, repressively is the protection provided by the government with the aim of resolving the dispute. This research includes the type of normative research to answer research problem.
