Exploitation of the Work of Others for Personal Gain

October 26, 2020. Director Angga Dwimas Sasongko declared "war" with the hijackers. The CEO and founder of Visinema was furious when he learned that his work, Story of Kale: When Someone's in Love, was hijacked.

Angga's anger is understandable. The film, which was painstakingly made during the pandemic and only released on the Online Cinema streaming service, which is still under the auspices of Visinema, is still being hacked by pirates.

Even though the streaming service makes it easy for film lovers, one of which does not require users to subscribe just to see the collections in it thanks to the concept of Transactional Video On Demand (TVOD).

Although using a one-time payment method to watch a film, Online Cinemas have a tracking system against pirates. This system makes Angga know that there are 'mice' who are secretly eating away at his work.

Anga can't stay still. After all this time, filmmakers have only complained about piracy and tend to remain silent, he has taken legal steps to take revenge on the pirates.

Story of Kale Director Angga Dwimas Sasongko declared a "war" with the pirates after learning that his work, Story of Kale: When Someone's in Love, was hijacked. This is why, discussion with law firm jakarta is important.

"So far, the issue of piracy has never come out of the appeal or warning dimension. No pirates have yet been convicted or prosecuted in a civil manner," said Angga through a series of tweets.

Even so, Angga is actually aware that eliminating piracy in Indonesia is like missing the moon.

So when his efforts to present an Online Cinema to make Indonesian films more inclusive turned out to be victims of piracy, Angga's anger was very rational.

However, it is not only Anga who is at war with the 'pest' pirates in the Indonesian film industry. The MAXstream streaming service, which is part of Telkomsel, also feels the same way.

Telkomsel GM Digital Experience Strategy Luthfi C. Wibisono explained that MAXstream uses a digital rights management (DRM) system to protect content.
