Understanding Copyright in Indonesia

There are several forms of activity that are considered as copyright infringement Indonesia, including quoting part or all of the work of another person which is then included in his / her own creation (without including the source) so as to make the impression as if the work itself (called plagiarism), takes someone else's work to be reproduced without changing the form or content for later publication, and reproducing other people's works deliberately without permission and for commercial purposes.

As for the limitations on the use, retrieval, duplication, or alteration of a work either partially or completely which is not included in an act that violates Copyright if the source is fully stated for the purposes of:

    education, research, educational writing, research, scientific writing, report preparation, writing criticism or review of a problem without prejudice to the reasonable interests of the Creator or the Copyright Holder;

    security and governance, legislative and judiciary;

    lectures for educational and scientific purposes only; or

    performances or performances that are free of charge provided that they do not harm the reasonable interests of the Creator.

For more details, the boundaries regarding actions that are not considered as Copyright infringement behavior can be reviewed in articles 43 to 53 concerning Copyright Restrictions in the Copyright Law.
