This type of research uses a descriptive analysis research method, namely a method that describes and explains a fact or reality systematically. The legal materials used are primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Discussion Results: The Pornography Law does not expressly eliminate the crime of pornography in the Criminal Code or the ITE Law, but still applies the Criminal Code and the ITE Law for several other cases of pornography crimes. In certain cases and circumstances with stronger legal reasons, the crime of pornography in the Criminal Code or the ITE Law can be applied. In a case of pornography crime, criminal liability for perpetrators of pornography on the internet can be applied through the principle of lex specialis derogat legi generali, which means that special law overrides general law.
