Law Enforcement against Copyright Infringement for Unauthorized Use/Sale of Other People's Fan Art on the Internet under Law Number 28 of 2014 Concerning Copyright

Abstract

The problem of copyright infringement and law enforcement against the use/sale of fan art without permission on the internet based on Law Number 28 of 2014 is the focus of research on the Director General of IPR Kemenkumham Lampung Regional Office. Normative juridical and empirical juridical methodologies are the methods used in this research. The results showed that the factors of copyright infringement on the use/sale of fan art of others without permission on the internet are the lack of knowledge and understanding of the public to copyright protection, seeking personal gain for commercial purposes, and law enforcement in copyright is still weak. Act No. 28 Year 2014 regulates the offense of complaint against copyright in the form of verbal reprimand through the mass media without a lawsuit for compensation. The author suggests the government, together with IPR institutions, socialize with the public about the importance of copyright, infringement, and its impact and can report if there is a violation with strong evidence.
