Core Subject : Social,
VARIA HUKUM: Jurnal Forum Studi Hukum dan Kemasyarakatan is a periodical scientific journal published by the Law Studies Program, Faculty of Sharia and Law, State University of Sunan Gunung Djati, Bandung. The birth of the VARIA HUKUM journal is inseparable from the transformation of IAIN into UIN. This transformation has encouraged the delivery of faculties/general study programs and strengthened the existing faculties/religious studies programs. One of the general study programs is the law study program. The characteristics developed by the Legal Studies study program at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung are a legal, educational institution that can integrate the existence of sharia-based legal scholarship. This is a distinct colour in the world of higher legal education. The Journal of Varia Hukum is published every six months, in January and July. The review process in this journal employs a double-blind peer-review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa.

Abstract

This article examines the application of the Omnibus Law method in the formation of Regional Regulations on Taxes and Levies in Cianjur Regency through the lens of Critical Legal Studies (CLS). CLS, as a school of critical legal thought, challenges the assumption that law is neutral and objective and critically examines its relationship to political and economic power. This study aims to analyse the mechanism for drafting regional regulations using the Omnibus Law method and to assess the legal implications of its application in the absence of a clear technical framework. The research employs a normative approach, with conceptual and historical analyses of national regulations, particularly Law Number 12 of 2011 and its amendments, as well as case studies in Cianjur Regency. The findings indicate that, although the Omnibus Law has been codified in Law Number 13 of 2022, there are still insufficient technical regulations governing the formation of regional legal products under the Omnibus framework. This creates the risk of formal defects in the establishment of regional rules, potentially undermining their legal validity. Therefore, the application of the Omnibus Law method at the regional level requires careful study, and the principles of CLS can serve as a critical analytical tool for evaluating legislative processes heavily influenced by political and economic interests.

Abstract

Abstract: The transformation of physical books into digital formats has increased information accessibility but also created new challenges, one of which is illegal distribution through shadow libraries such as LibGen, Z-Library, and Sci-Hub. These platforms provide free access to e-books and academic works without the permission of copyright holders, thereby violating intellectual property rights (IPR). This study employs a normative juridical method, drawing on a literature and statutory approach, to analyze how the distribution of digital books via shadow libraries affects copyright and how Indonesian law regulates and enforces such protection. The analysis indicates that e-books are protected under copyright law, as stipulated in Law No. 28 of 2014 and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). The Indonesian government has the authority to block infringing websites as a measure to safeguard creators' economic and moral rights. The findings emphasize the importance of effective law enforcement and public awareness of the ethical distribution of content in the open information era.

Abstract

This article examines the challenges of regulating intellectual property rights (IPR) in Indonesia for digital works produced by artificial intelligence (AI). Although Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright establishes the creator as the legal subject, works produced automatically by AI create ambiguity in copyright ownership. This uncertainty creates a legal loophole that could lead to disputes. This study employs a normative juridical approach to analyse the legal protection of AI works and finds that, absent specific regulations, these works lack adequate legal protection. Concrete steps are needed, either through revisions to laws or through the establishment of new rules, to accommodate the development of AI technology and provide legal certainty for the owners of works.
