Implementasi Perlindungan Hukum terhadap Pencipta Sinematografi atas Pemanfaatan Karya melalui Platform Streaming Digital

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection and the legal position of cinematographic creators regarding the utilization of their works through digital streaming platforms. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and comparative approaches, supported by field data as complementary material. The results indicate that legal protection for cinematographic creators in Indonesia has been normatively regulated under Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright, which covers both moral and economic rights. However, in practice, there remains a legal gap, particularly in addressing copyright infringement on digital platforms such as piracy, illegal distribution, and weak law enforcement. The position of cinematographic creators tends to be weaker compared to digital platforms that possess greater economic and technological power. Compared to countries such as the United States, Japan, and South Korea, Indonesia still faces limitations in implementing effective protection mechanisms, both in terms of regulation and technology. Therefore, strengthening an adaptive legal system is necessary, including improved law enforcement, technological utilization, and policies that ensure justice and optimal protection for cinematographic creators in the digital era.
