Remix Song According to Law Number 28 Of 2014 Concerning Copyright (Analysis of License Transfer and Royalty Calculation)
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to better understand how important legal protection
is for creators of musical works and songs, including how to obtain their rights
(Royalties) based on Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. It's not always
that songs belonging to singers outside of Indonesia are the target of "creativity"
for song remix makers in rearranging a song, but songs belonging to singers from
Indonesia are not spared from this. Therefore, the formulation of the problem in
this study is what is the procedure and mechanism for transferring the copyright
license to the person who will make the remix of the song? And what is the system
for calculating the economic rights obtained by creators? The research method
used is primary legal sources in empirical theory, namely by interviewing
musicians who have or have composed songs or have copyrighted music published
on digital platforms. The results of this study are 1. The procedure for transferring
a song license from the creator to the party who will remix the song uses the license
agreement described in Article 1 number (20) of Law Number 28 of 2014, and the
agreement that occurs refers to the provisions which regulates agreements in
general in the Civil Code and 2. The calculation of economic rights for songwriters
in the Copyright Law Number 28 of 2014 does not explain what percentage the
distribution is. Usually the parties involved have their own policies. As long as the
royalty sharing agreement is agreed upon by both parties.
