<![CDATA[The development of TikTok has generated the jedag-jedug content phenomenon, characterized by musical works transformed through bass boosts, tempo alterations, and remixing without authorization from original songwriters. This practice creates legal issues regarding copyright protection in the digital environment. This study aims to analyze copyright infringements arising from unauthorized musical transformations, examine legal protection for moral and economic rights of songwriters, and identify available legal remedies. This normative legal study applies statutory and conceptual approaches through literature-based analysis. The findings reveal that unauthorized jedag-jedug transformations violate adaptation, reproduction, announcement, and distribution rights under Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. Legal protection may be pursued through preventive and repressive mechanisms, including notice and takedown, civil claims, criminal sanctions, and mediation. The study highlights the need for stronger digital copyright enforcement and institutional coordination. This research contributes to the development of copyright studies by providing a legal perspective on the challenges of protecting musical works in the era of digital transformation.]]>
