GENERAL

The decree of People1s Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia No.IIJ1vfPRIl993 on the Guidelines of State Policy stipulates, among others, that world1s development which brings opportunities capable of supporting and increasing the growth of national development should be employed to the most. In line with the direction of the Guidelines of State Policy, therefore, all global developments, changes, and inclinations that might presumably influence the National Stability and the achievement of national objectives need to be carefully observed, in order to be able to take the anticipating steps.

One of the significant and closely monitored developments during the last decade, which is still going to be the incl ination in the future, is the ever grmving flow of globalization in social life, economy, culture and in other sides of life. In the field of trade , the development of, in particular, inforrntion technology and transportation has rapidly driven activities in this sector and has even merged the \vorld into a single common market. Having considered such facts and inclinations, it is then quite reasonable when there is an urge toward regulating for a more appropriate legal protection. :Moreover, there is a number of countries which are getting more relying their economic and

trading	acti vities		on	products		being		a	result	of	human
intel lectuals,		such	as works		in the		field	of scien		ce, arts		and
literature.

The General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT) as a multilateral agreement on tradc basically aimcd to create a frcc trade and equal treatment as well as to help create economic growth and progress, in order to achieve human prosperity.

In the framework of the Agreement, in April 1994 in Marakesh, Morocco, a package of trade negotiation deals has been agreed, and it became the most comprehensive agreement GATT has ever achieved. The negotiation which had begun in 1986 in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and known as Uruguay Round contains, among others, the Agreement on Trade Related ASlJccts of Intellectual Property Rights (TIUPS).

The TRIPS Agreement established norms and standards of protection for human intellectuals and laid the international agreement on Intellectual Property Rights as its foundation. In addition; the agreement also regulates strict implementing rules of

legal enforcement in ·the field of Intellectual Property Rights.

As a signatory to the Uruguay Round Agreement Indonesia has ratified the agreement package v.;ith Law No. 7 of 1994 concerning the Ratification of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization. In line with the policy, to support national development activities, particularly after considering the various changes and development, Indonesia, which had adopted a national Copyright Law since 1982 which was then amended with Law No. 7 of 1987, views that it is necessary to make perfection on the Law concerned.

In addition to the perfection of some provisions considered as providing inadequate legal protection on Authors, it is also considered necessary to make adjustment to conform to the TRJPS Agreement. The goal is to eliminate various barriers, in partic1:llar, to facilitate efforts that promote the economic growth as well as national and international trade.

With such background and considerations, therefore, the general area and course of amendment on Law No. 6 of 1982 as

amended with Law Nq. 7 of 1987 concerning Copyrights covers, among others:

1. Perfection

In this Law, the perfecti0I1: covers the proVIslons concerning the protection on works of which the Authors are unknown, ,exception'a} provision cncenUng the infringement of , c6pyrights, the tenn of protection of works, right and authority to bring lawsuit, and provisions concerning Civil Servant Investigator (PPNS).

2. Addition

Some changes to add provisions concerning:

a.	Rental Rights of the holder of copyrights concerning
	video records, movies, and computer programs;
b.	Neighboring	Rights	which	cover	protection,		for
	performers, phonogram producers,				and	broadcasting
	agency; and
c,	copyright license

ARTICLE BY ARTICLE

Figure 1

The amendment on provision of Article I figure 2 i? meant to affirm the required element of originality of work to qualify for copyright protection. A work has to be in a distinctive form and shows the originality as a creation of person based on ability and creativity of a personal nature. "In a distinctive form" means that the work has to be completely realized, so that it is capable of being seen, heard or read. To include in the definition of " capab le of being read" is Braille reading. Since a work has to be in a distinctive form, the protection of copyright shall not then

b.e granted trlis concept, an idea doe's ' not ' basically qual ify for . a copyright protection because an idea has no fonn that enables it to be seen, . heard or read. The addition . of provisions concefTIing .the definition of performer, phonogram p.rodcer arid broadcasting agency is' necessary in relation to the addii9n .of new provisions concerning Neighboring Rights. In the definition of performer, the mentioning of ctor, singer muician, and dancer ' is to show the professions of performers, which are basically only to mention some of those whose activities c.rc to perform, show, act, sing, communicate, recite, or 'play a piece of work.

Meanwhile, the definition of phonogram producers includes those who carry out activities of direct recording on objects whih produce voice or sound, including those who record 'voice . or sound in different musical

. arrangements, and not just multiply or reproduce existing recordings. As of the meaning of "broadcasting workst1 in the definition of "broadcasting organization" covers, among others, pictures or pictures and voice. The requirement that it should take the form of legal body only applies to Private B roadcasting Organization.

Furthermore, see the elucidation of the previous

Article 1.

Figure 2

This amendment is meant to affirm the recognition on the existence of rights belonging to Authors or copyright holders of cinematographic works and computer programs, in the form of rights to prevent or to give consent to the commercial rental of cinematographi c works or computer programs.

Similar rights may apply to producers of phonograms.

Furthermore, see the elucidation of the prevIous Article 2 .

^.The addition of provision in p aragraph (1) A is meant to c1arify the principle that the copyright on a work made by a person on work order, for instance, within a Government office, unless othen:vise agreed, is he1d by the office concerned, as the party who gave the job order. This provision does not prejudice the right of the person who makes the work, as the Author, if such work is used beyond the official reI ationship. Meanwhile, the ame ndment in paragraph (2) is meant to clarify the existence of copyrights on works made beyond an official service or works made on a work order. This means that the work is made within a work service in private sector or is made on a work order between a private institution and another party or between individuals.

Furthermore, see the elucidation of the previous Micle 8.

FiQUre 4

This amendment is meant to affirm the status of

copyright in the event that the author of a work is unknown and the work is not or not yet published in its appropriate form. For example, in the case of a written work or music, the work has not been published in the form of book or has not been recorded. In that case, to protect the rights of the Author, the State holds the copyright for the Author. In the event that the work is in the form of a written work and has been published, then the publisher holds the copyright on such work.

A publisher is also deemed as holding the .copyright of a work that is published under a pseudonym of the Author. Therefore, upon a published work of which the Author is

unknown or the name printed on it is only a pseudonym, the publisher whose. name appears on the work and which, based on presented evidence, is the first publishing the work, represents the Author.. However, this does not apply when the Author subsequently rveals his identity and is able to proof that he is the Author of the work.

Furthermore, see the elucidation of the previous Article 10 A..

Figure 5

This amendment is actually only to re-arrange the order of kinds of works within the scope of copyright by classifying them according to the kinds and nature of the works. Moreover, some kinds of works need an explanation as follow:

A typographical arrangement means the art or aesthetic aspect of the writing arrangement and shape of a vrritten work. This is to include the format, decoration, color, and arrangement or layout of letters that as a totality constitutes a distinctive fonn. As of drawings cover, among others, technical drawings, patterns, diagrams, sketches, logos, and shapes of characters. A collage is an artistic composition . made of various materials, such as clothes, paper, wood attached on the surface of a picture.

As of applied art, it is basically handcrafting art that can be produced in great numbers. For example, jewels or accessories, furniture, decorative paper or wall ornamentals, and clothes design. Visual aids that are

granted protection are devices for the purpose of science, including education.

Architecture includes construction art, miniatures or construction models. Batik, as an artwork, is granted protection by this Law as a distinct work. In this Law "Batik" means a new creation which is not a traditional or contemporary one. Such works are granted protection

because they have artistic values, on the creation of pattems, dra\yjngs as ' well · 'as 'color ' co mposition. The protection on traditional batiks is granted against any foreign party or party from abroad. The term of protection on 'traditional ' 'batik works , such ", as Parang Rusak, Sidomuh.-ti,' Truntum and ethers have elapsed and become public 'domain. Therefore, basically, 'Indonesian nationals are free to use them. Furthermore, cinematographic work as a communication medium of moving images and voices is to include documentaT)1 films, news; reportage, or movies made on scenario and cartoon movies. Cinematographic works mey be made on celluloid tape, video tape, video disc, 2.nd or other media which make them possible to be sho\\11 at movie theatre, on wid e screen, or television.

An anthology inCludes works in the form of book of which the content is a compilation of assorted Vlritten works, collection of assorted songs recorded in a single cassette, or composition of assorted choreographs.

Figure 6

The amendment in this Article is made by omitting the 10 percents limitation in the provision concerning the use that is not considered as a copyright infTingement. The omission is necessary because it is difticult to apply a quantitative measure to establish an infringement. In this case, a qualitative measure would be more appropriate. For instance, taking the most important or distinctive part or distinctive feature of the work, even though it does not amount to 10 percents. Such use substantively qualifies an infringement of copyrights, Furthermore, the use of copyright does not constitute an infringement if such use clearl y mentions the source, whereas the use itself is

limited for a non-commercial purpose including social activities, For instance, 2.ctivities In the scope of

education, research and development, the use in the scope of science is precluded provided that" it does not harm the norinal interests of the Author. To include within this definition is taking the excerpt of a work to be used in a free-of-charge show or performance. On taking excerpt of a written work, the full identity of the source work has to be mentioned. It means that it has to mention at least the n:lme of the Author, the title or name of the worY.., and the

name of the publisher, if any. The measure of normal interests of an Author has to be appraised by the rights of the Author, in particular, to enjoy economic benefit from the work concerned. If a dispute emerges, tbe lssue shall be settled by a decision of the Court.

Besides that, the amendment is also made on the restricti.on for reproducing works other than computer program. The purpose is to affirm that the reproduction of a work may not exceed the needed number of copies as to meet the purpose of reproducing the work concerned. In relation to computer program, it is necessary to assert that the o\vner of this kind of work may only make one copy of the work, used solely as a reserve of the work concerned. This provision also applies to public libraries, science or

education		and	documentation		centers,
solely for conducting their a			ctivities.
Furthermore,	see	the	elucidation	of	the	previous
Article 14.

Figure 7

The amendment is meant to confonn to the amendment made on provision of Article 11 that classifies the kinds of works based on form and field of works. The rest is the classification of kinds of works based on the term of protection.

Furthermore, see the elucidation of the previous Article 26.

Figure 8

See the elucidation of Figure 7.

Figure 9

The addition of new provision here is to clarify the provision concerning the protection period 'of copyright that is held by the State. By principle, a work of which the copyTight is held by the State under Article 10 paragraph

(2) l etter b shall be granted an unlimited period of protection. Meanwhile, upon a" work the copyright of \·vhich is exerised by the State under iUiicle 10 A paragraph (1) shall be " granted protection for 50 (fifty) years as from the. work is known by members of the public. This provision applies to a work of which the Author is absolutely unknown. If the identity of the Author is subsequently revealed, or the Author himself subsequently discloses his identity within a period of 50 (fifty) years after the work has been known by the public, then the provision of Article 26 applies. This means that the protection period continues for 50 (fifty) years after the death of the Author.

Upon works of which the copyrights are held by the publishers in pursuant of Article 10 A paragraph (2), the

prot ection period is for 50 (fifty) years from the first time the work was published.

Figure 10

The new provision of Article 28A here is ·meant to affirm that the right of an Author to have his name or identity mentioned including his pseudonym be endless or for an unlimited period of protection. Meanwhile, the prot ecti on period for an Author against any action by another party to make any change upon "his \\;ork is of the same period of protection as on the work itself.

The provision of Article 28B which affirms the date or 1 January as the base to compute the protectioll priou or a copyright is merely to ease· in computing the end of protection. The starting point is 1 January of the following or current year is made eligible to the

published or after the death of the Author. Trjs is an co nform to the international

agreement applicable to copyrights.
This

method of computation does not prejudice the principle that the computation of the protectioft period shall be based on the time the work is created, in the event that the actual date is clearly known.

An example of the application: a cinematographic

work that was published for the f1[st time on 20 July 1 995

will be. protected 'from 20 July 1995 until 31 December

2045.

Figure 11

The addition 9f a new Chapter is meant to provide a legal foundation for licensing practices in the field of copyrights. Basically, the nature of a licensing agreement is only an authorization or conferring of rights set up in a deed of agreement, for certain period of time under certain conditions, to enjoy the economic benefit of a work protected by copyright. A licensing agreement is not usually closed as an exclusive agreement. This means that the holder of copyright still maintain his right to exercise the copyright or to give a similar license to a third party. A licensing agreement may also be closed as an exclusive one, meaning that the right is exclusively given solely to the licensee. An exclusive license is capable of being abused to monopolize the market, or to eliminate the healthy competition in the market. As an example, such

thing may happen when a li censee does not use

deliberately or exploit the licensed work. Such action is

taken in order to control the · market through' the usc of

another product or product 'of his own. Such method

clearly will impair the right of the Author and even may

hamper the growth of Indonesian economy. ' Considering

such possibility, therefore, -this Law lays down a directive

that a'license may be exercised provided 1t does not cause

detrimental effect on the economy of Indonesia,

Furthermore, it is also asserted that .to effect . legal

consequences agai nst a third party, a licensing agreement

has to be recorded at the CopYlight Office.

Figure 12

The amendment of Articl e 42 paragraph (1) is meant to simplify the wordings and to affirm the right of an Author to claim for indemn ity if there is an infringement

^of^{^c^o^p^yri^g}^{^h^t^.}. If'a confiscation is requested as referred to in this paragraph, it has to be camed out in pursuant to the provisions concerning forfeiting of movable goods as regulated in Law of Civil Proceedings, With this amendment, thus, the provisions of the previous Article 43 paragraph (2) are not needed anymore. The provision of Article 43 paragraph (1) becomes the new Article 43 with amendment. Moreover, the addition of new provision d sjgnat ed as Article 43A is meant to affirm the right of an Author or his beneficiary to claim for i ndemnity against any violation 'of the provision in Arti cle 24, that is the provision concerning the moral right of an Author. The addition of provision in Article 43B is actually an improvement and to remove the content of the previous Article 42 paragraph (3).

Figure 13

The addition of a new Chapter is meant provide a legal

foundation for rights rel ated to copyrights known as

Neighbori such ,rightsjndudes who

' producers of and broadcasting ,

wotks. In addidn to proisions cOl?cerning the content of therights,

,it ,also sets out the ;tenn of protection and other provisions

applicabJe against infringement of of the same sanctions as those applicabl e

'' is taken upon considerations that the po'ssible "economical damage and other losses arising from infringement of these rights are basically the same as ofagainst copyright.

Figure 14

Proceedings, this principle is still in line with provision in Article 46 of the Law (KUHAP).

Figure 15

This amendment is made to clarify the authority of Civil Servat Investigator and the

procedures on the implementation of the task as well as his inter-relation with Investigator of the State Police of the Republic , Qf Indonesia and the Public Prosecutor.

A clear provision regarding investigation is important for investigative' apparatus in carrying out their tasks,

Therefore, .it is necessary to clarify that even though Civil Servant Investigators

of which the task and responsibility th'e management of copyrights, are vested with authority to be an

investigator, this does not eliminate the fu nction of Investigator of the State Police .of the Republic of Indonesi a as the 1\1ain Investigator. In carrying out their tasks, Civil ServanT. Investigators are under the coordination and supervision of Investigators of the State Police of the RepUb lic of Indonesia. Therefore, during the process of an investigation a Civil Servant Investigator needs to consult with lnvestigators of the State Police of the RefJublic of Indonesia. It is in this stage of investigation that Investigators of the State Police of the Republic of Indonesia givE': technical oirections concerning

he form2,l 2nd the coment ofDu:d of Invcstigation and at the-same time check th e ITuth of the content of the Deed. Ahu the ;:/\'estigation is over, lhe,result of invc:igaion sn?JI bc stJomit!ea by the Civil seryant Investigator iO Ine II1\'cstig8tor of the Stale Police of the Republic of Indonesia, who in turns shail proceed it immedic.tely to the Public Prosecutor, This is in accordance with the principle laid dov,'n in Anicle 6, .Micle 7 and Article 107 of Law No 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Proceedigs,

Bearing in mind this principle, thus the word "throughin paragraph (4) is not necessarily understood as statirig that Investigator of the State Police of the Republic of Indonesia may or shall undertake reinvestigation, For, any technical assistance on investigation as well as on the booking of result of t^he investigation, basically, has been given during a period in which Civil Servant Investigator carrying his investigation. As a result, the principle of fast and effective procedures as prescribed by Criminal Proceedings Law can be implemented.

Figure J 6

This amendment is meant to adjust to international rules concerning, in particular, Neighboring Rights. This constitutes an anticipation toward the possibility for the

accession of the Republic of Indonesia-into bil ateral! multilateral agreements concerning the rights.
