Abstract

This study examines legal protection against copyright infringement arising from film recording in cinemas and digital content piracy on digital platforms. The development of information technology has transformed the distribution of copyrighted works and increased the risk of infringement, both through illegal recording in public spaces and the unauthorized dissemination of exclusive subscription based content. This research aims to analyze the forms of legal protection against such infringements and to examine the juridical analysis of Constitutional Court Decision Number 84/PUU-XXI/2023 in the context of copyright violations in digital media and public spaces. The research method employed is normative and empirical legal research using statutory approaches, analysis of Constitutional Court decisions, and observation of digital piracy practices. The findings indicate that cinema camcording and unauthorized distribution of digital content constitute copyright infringement protected under Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright and related regulations. Constitutional Court Decision Number 84/PUU-XXI/2023 emphasizes that copyright protection must adapt to technological developments and reinforces the role of the state in regulating the protection of works in the digital environment. This study concludes that although the legal framework for copyright protection already exists, stronger supervision and more effective law enforcement are still required on an ongoing basis to address digital piracy challenges.
