Perlindungan Hukum Bagi Production House Terhadap Penyebaran Film Secara Ilegal Pada Aplikasi Telegram

This study aims to provide legal protection for production houses as copyright holders and offer knowledge about unlawful acts that can be committed by production houses regarding the economic losses caused by the illegal distribution of films on the Telegram app. It is hoped that this research will raise awareness in society that piracy or the illegal distribution of films can cause harm to production houses as well as infringe on the copyright holder’s rights. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach to analyze the applicable regulations in protecting copyright. The results of this study show that parties involved in piracy and the distribution of someone’s copyrighted work have committed unlawful acts, violating both the economic and moral rights of the copyright holder, one of which is the production house. Parties involved in piracy and distribution can be prosecuted in accordance with the provisions outlined in Article 1365 of the Civil Code and Article 113 of Law No. 28 of 2014 on copyright. This study is expected to contribute to the development of legal protection for copyright holders in Indonesia.
