A JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF LEGAL PROTECTION FOR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AGAINST FILM PIRACY ON ILLEGAL STREAMING WEBSITE: THE CASE OF LAYARKACA21 UNDER LAW NUMBER 28 OF 2014 CONCERNING COPYRIGHT

Abstract

This research discusses the problem of film piracy that is rampant in Indonesia, especially through the illegal streaming site Layarkaca21 which harms copyright holders by violating their exclusive economic rights. The purpose of this study is to analyze the form of legal protection provided under Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and evaluate the effectiveness of its law enforcement against digital piracy. The method used is normative juridical by examining primary legal sources including legislation and secondary sources such as journals and expert opinions. The results show that although the law has regulated preventive and repressive protection, its implementation is still weak due to low public awareness, reactive law enforcement, and technological limitations. This study concludes that copyright protection will be more effective if supported by strict law enforcement, inter-agency coordination, technological integration, and comprehensive public education.
