Abstract

Appropriated artwork refers to the practice of using pre-existing objects or images into new works of art with little or no significant changes to the original form. This trend developed into the Pop Art movement, where one of the characteristic features was the use of images from mass media, as seen in the works of Andy Warhol, including the transformation of Campbell's soup cans into iconic works of art. Although widely appreciated, this work has drawn criticism regarding copyright infringement, raising the question: where do one artist's rights draw on another? To what extent is the appropriation of copyright protected works considered legal without violating the rights of the original creator? The research results show that the two legal systems differ significantly in the aspects of exclusive rights, moral rights, protected works, exceptions, and duration of protection. The challenge in understanding fair use lies in determining the boundaries between the rights of one artist and another. The fair use doctrine assesses four main factors: the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the original work, the proportion of the work used, and the impact on the market. Courts in the US often favor fair use if elements of transformation are identified, measuring the extent to which the appropriated work carries elements of originality or new creativity. Indonesia could consider adopting the fair use doctrine by adapting the concept through ministerial regulations or other implementing regulations.

Abstract

In Indonesia, a foreign arbitral award refers to a decision issued by an arbitration institution or arbitrator outside the country or recognized as such under Indonesian law. This classification reflects Indonesia’s adherence to the principle of territoriality in distinguishing arbitration awards as "international." However, enforcement remains contentious due to courts' broad interpretation of public policy under Article 66(c) of Law No. 30 of 1999. Despite Constitutional Court Decision No. 100/PUU-XXII/2024, the lack of a clear definition of public policy persists, leaving courts to determine its scope on a case-by-case basis. Until further regulations provide clarity, Article 66(c) will remain ambiguous and continue to be a basis for challenging foreign awards. A comparison with Singapore highlights two key findings. First, Indonesia applies a broad and inconsistent interpretation of public policy, while Singapore’s approach is narrower and more predictable. Second, Indonesian courts lack uniformity, as shown in three patterns: (1) awards are rejected for allegedly breaching sovereignty by restricting access to local courts; (2) awards are annulled for contravening Indonesian laws; and (3) awards are refused for endangering national interests. Rather than redefining international arbitration awards, Indonesia needs clearer guidelines and consistent application of public policy to enhance investor confidence and its global arbitration competitiveness.
