A Comparative Study of Legal Protection Based on Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for Musical Works Republished on YouTube Without Authorization
Keywords:

Abstract
The development of digital technology has facilitated the distribution of works, including songs, through platforms such as YouTube, but also increased the risk of copyright infringement. This study analyzes legal protection for copyright holders of songs republished on YouTube without authorization. The method used is normative juridical with a statutory and case study approach. The results show that although Law Number 28 of 2014 provides copyright protection, challenges remain in its digital implementation. Therefore, this study compares it with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States, which offers a notice-and-takedown mechanism. The comparison highlights the need to strengthen Indonesia's digital copyright protection through collaboration between the government, platforms, and the public.
