Legal Protection of Song Creators whose Works Used Without Permission for Commercial Purposes in The Field of Intellectual Property Law

Abstract

This research is intended to find out and fully understand the use of copyrighted works of songs from creators without permission for commercial purposes. The author also reviews the efforts that can be made by the state so that the copyrighted works of the composers are not used without permission for commercial purposes. The research method that the author uses is a normative research method by searching secondary data through library research. The results of the study indicate that the use of the author's copyrighted works without permission for commercial purposes is a form of crime in the field of intellectual property that creates sanctions under copyright law. to protect songwriters whose works are used without permission for commercial purposes, it is necessary to enforce strict laws through copyright laws, socialize the importance of copyright to the public and empower the National Collective Management Institute to request payment for all songs sung or played in the business. The last thing that needs to be carried out is very strict supervision of all shopping centers so that the goods that come into and are sold at the trade center are far from goods resulting from copyright crimes, song works, or pirated goods.
