Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology presents new challenges in enforcing copyright law, especially against illegal streaming sites that distribute copyrighted content without permission. This study examines the legal implications for providers and users of such platforms under Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. It analyzes the regulatory framework and criminal sanctions applicable to both actors using a normative juridical method with statutory and case study approaches. Findings indicate that providers may be directly sanctioned for violating creators’ economic rights under Article 113(2)–(3), while users are only liable if actively involved in unlawful dissemination. Enforcement faces structural and technical barriers, including the complaint-based nature of the offense, digital evidence complexity, and cross-border jurisdiction. Academically, this research enriches digital copyright discourse and offers relevant legal interpretations. Practically, it recommends strengthening cyber law enforcement and updating legal norms to respond effectively to copyright violations in the digital era

Abstract

Lecturers are not only teachers, but also have a role as researchers and implementers of community service. Therefore, lecturers are entitled to receive a decent wage in accordance with minimum standards. The employment relationship between lecturers and Private Higher Education Institutions (PTS) is outlined in the form of an employment agreement that includes concise provisions regarding rights and obligations, one of which is the right to Lecturer Wages. In practice, there are several lecturers in the Private Higher Education environment who have not enjoyed their wage rights optimally. They receive wages below the minimum standard, paid according to per credit unit of teaching, which is not in accordance with the lecturer employment agreement and laws and regulations. This raises issues regarding the legality of the lecturer employment agreement system in PTS and the legal protection of lecturers against substandard wages. This study aims to determine the wage system of lecturers' employment agreements with private universities (PTS) and analyze legal protection against wage practices that do not comply with regulations. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach and literature review. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of fixed-term employment agreements between lecturers and private universities does not comply with the provisions of Articles 90 and 91 of the Manpower Law, which state that wages below the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) are invalid. This violation has legal consequences in the form of default and administrative sanctions. Legal protection for minimum wages is affirmed in Government Regulation No. 36 of 2021 concerning Wages, which regulates the wage scale structure, and Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology No. 53 of 2023

Abstract

Sexual violence, particularly rape, constitutes a serious violation of human rights, inflicting lasting physical, psychological, and social impacts on victims. In 2024, the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) recorded 445,502 cases of sexual violence in Indonesia, emphasizing the urgency for robust legal protection. This study aims to examine the legal protections afforded to rape victims under Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) and evaluate the challenges in its implementation. Using a normative legal research method, the analysis draws from primary legal sources, notably the UU TPKS, and relevant secondary literature. The findings indicate that the UU TPKS grants victims access to medical services, psychological support, legal assistance, and confidentiality safeguards. However, implementation is hindered by entrenched patriarchal norms, societal stigma, and inadequate sensitivity among law enforcement. The study concludes that strengthening public awareness, improving law enforcement capacity, and adopting restorative justice principles are essential for effective legal protection. This research contributes to the development of a more responsive and victim-centered legal framework in Indonesia.

Abstract

Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) are an important part of Indonesia's democratic system. However, in practice, various violations often occur that threaten the integrity of elections, particularly administrative violations involving election organizers, election participants, and local government officials. This study aims to analyze the role of the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in addressing administrative violations during the 2024 Pilkada in Serang District, as well as to identify the challenges and effectiveness of its handling mechanisms. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with purposive sampling techniques for selecting key informants. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and indirect observation. The research was conducted from February to June 2025 with a total of 12 informants comprising representatives from Bawaslu, Panwascam, KPU, academics, and election observers. The results of the study show that Bawaslu Serang Regency has carried out its supervisory function through preventive, curative, and repressive approaches, although it still faces obstacles in terms of evidence, limited executive authority, and low community involvement. There were 37 cases of violations handled, with the most common categories involving money politics and the lack of neutrality among village officials. Some cases have been referred to the Election Violation Investigation Agency (Gakkumdu), the Civil Service Commission (KASN), and related institutions. This study concludes that the role of the Election Supervisory Agency is significant but not yet optimal due to weak structural and legal support. Strengthening institutional capacity and reforming the mechanisms for handling violations are necessary to ensure more integrity in future elections.

Abstract

Environmental issues in Indonesia are becoming increasingly complex, driven by the rapid growth of industry and the exploitation of natural resources that disregard the principles of sustainability. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of liability without fault in resolving environmental disputes, as stipulated in Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. This principle provides a platform for injured parties to seek legal accountability without having to prove fault, in line with the polluter pays principle. The approach used in this study is a normative juridical method, relying on secondary data in the form of laws and regulations, legal literature, and previous research findings. The findings indicate that the existence of the principle of strict liability in Article 88 strengthens the legal basis for filing civil lawsuits for redress of environmental damage, even in conditions without elements of intent or negligence. Dispute resolution can be pursued through litigation or non-litigation channels such as mediation and arbitration. These findings are significant in promoting ecological justice, expanding public access to environmental justice, and strengthening legal responsibility for business actors. This study concludes that it is necessary to strengthen socialization efforts and enforce the law firmly and consistently so that the principle of liability without fault can function optimally as a preventive and corrective legal instrument

Abstract

This study examines the policies of life insurance companies regarding claims from beneficiaries who discover a policy after the claim deadline has passed. The case study was conducted at PT Asuransi Jiwa Manulife Medan. Problems arose when beneficiaries only learned of the policy several years after the insured's death, resulting in claims being filed outside the timeframe. This study used an empirical legal method with a statutory approach and direct interviews with the company. The results showed that although the policy stipulates a claim deadline of between 30 days and one year, PT Manulife still allows for review if the policy is still active and the reason for the delay is justifiable. Policies that still have cash value are still considered active, allowing claims to be processed. These results demonstrate the importance of fairness and consumer protection in life insurance. In conclusion, there needs to be a balance between legal certainty in contracts and protection of beneficiary rights, particularly in cases of late claims caused by ignorance of the policy's existence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Constitutional Court Decision Number 2/PHPU.PRES-XXII/2024 concerning the presidential election dispute in 2024 from the perspective of siyasah qadhaiyyah. The findings reveal that the Constitutional Court assessed the case solely from a legal-formal standpoint, emphasizing administrative and procedural evidence without considering the ethical dimensions of power and the socio-political impact of state resource abuse. In the siyasah qadhaiyyah framework, justice is not limited to procedural compliance but must be substantive and directed at preventing tyranny in governance. Judges, according to this perspective, are morally obliged to uncover the hidden motives of power behind legal formalities and to uphold public welfare (maslahah 'ammah). This research recommends a paradigm reform of the Constitutional Court, urging the Court to transcend legal positivism and uphold substantive justice aimed at protecting citizens' rights and the integrity of electoral processes. Thus, siyasah qadhaiyyah serves as an ethical and philosophical foundation for enhancing the Constitutional Court's role as the guardian of democratic justice, rather than merely functioning as a procedural interpreter of legal texts
