<![CDATA[The development of digital technology has increased the utilization of songs and musical works through digital platforms, while simultaneously giving rise to various royalty disputes that affect the protection of the economic rights of copyright holders. This study aims to analyze legal protection for song and music copyright holders in royalty disputes in the digital era and to examine the weaknesses of the existing legal system. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The results indicate that legal protection of digital royalties in Indonesia still faces several obstacles, including weak supervision, a lack of transparency in royalty distribution, a suboptimal role for Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) and the National Collective Management Organization (LMKN), and low public legal literacy. Therefore, strengthening regulations and developing technology-based royalty management systems, such as blockchain and smart contracts, are necessary to establish effective, transparent, and equitable legal protection in the digital era.]]>
