Abstract

This study aims to interpret the principle of balance under Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright (UUHC) through an analysis of the royalty dispute and song usage license between Ari Bias and Agnes Mo. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory and case approaches, positioning the dispute as a test case to examine the accuracy of normative interpretation. The findings indicate that the dispute constitutes a form of compound infringement that simultaneously violates economic rights through the use of the work without royalty payments and moral rights through the disregard of the creator’s control over the use of the work. The analysis confirms that the principle of balance cannot be construed as a basis for limiting the creator’s exclusive rights, but rather as a rights-based balance that places exclusive rights as the default principle. The claim of “indirect contribution” lacks a legal basis to eliminate the obligation to obtain permission and pay royalties. The novelty of this study lies in the conceptual reconstruction of the principle of balance through the analysis of compound infringement in a concrete case, as well as its implications for legal certainty and the strengthening of Indonesia’s creative industry ecosystem.   Penelitian ini bertujuan menafsirkan asas keseimbangan dalam Undang Undang Hak Cipta melalui analisis sengketa royalti dan izin penggunaan lagu antara Ari Bias dan Agnes Mo. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus, menempatkan sengketa tersebut sebagai test case untuk menguji ketepatan interpretasi norma. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sengketa ini merupakan bentuk compound infringement yang secara simultan melanggar hak ekonomi melalui penggunaan karya tanpa pembayaran royalti serta hak moral melalui pengabaian kontrol pencipta atas penggunaan karya. Analisis menegaskan bahwa asas keseimbangan tidak dapat dimaknai sebagai dasar pembatasan hak eksklusif pencipta, melainkan sebagai prinsip berbasis hak (rights-based balance) yang menempatkan hak eksklusif sebagai prinsip dasar (default principle). Klaim “kontribusi tidak langsung” tidak memiliki dasar hukum untuk menghapus kewajiban memperoleh izin dan membayar royalti. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada rekonstruksi konseptual asas keseimbangan melalui analisis compound infringement dalam konteks kasus konkret, serta implikasinya terhadap kepastian hukum dan penguatan ekosistem industri kreatif Indonesia.
