COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IN THE DIGITAL ERA: LEGAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACHES

Abstract

Copyright infringement is the use of a work without the permission of the copyright holder, which violates the exclusive rights of the creator as stipulated in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. In the digital era, the risk of copyright infringement increases in line with the rapid development of information and communication technology. This study uses normative juridical methods to analyze legal protection of copyright on digital platforms, especially TikTok. The results of the study show that there is still uncertainty in existing regulations, as well as weak law enforcement against copyright infringement on the platform. Case studies such as Virgoun's lawsuit against TikTok and alleged plagiarism by Rico Dwi Cahyono underscore the challenges of protecting copyright in the digital age. This research suggests the need for clearer regulatory revisions and increased legal awareness among users.Copyright Infringement, Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright
