The research identifies problems that arise in the practical implementation of copyright protection for altered musical arrangements. One common issue is copyright infringement, where the alteration of musical arrangements is done without permission or consent from the original copyright owner. Real-life cases of copyright infringement, such as the case of the song "Lagi Syantik" whose musical arrangement was altered without permission, and the karaoke dispute between Inul Vista and the Indonesian Copyright Foundation (Yayasan Karya Cipta Indonesia), serve as examples of the problems that arise in Indonesia. In terms of legal protection, Law Number 28 of 2014 provides copyright protection for copyright holders. Copyright protects the expression of creative works, including those in the music industry.
