Problematika Perlindungan Hak Cipta terhadap Permainan Video di Indonesia

Abstract. Video game piracy is rampant in Indonesia, including pirated video games in DVD form and illegal downloading of video games. Video game creators hold copyrights to prevent their works from being misused by irresponsible parties. The purpose of this paper is to examine the legal framework for copyright protection of video games and to analyze the reasons for the difficulties in enforcing copyright protection for video games in Indonesia. The research method employed is a normative approach. The discussion reveals that regulations on copyright protection are stipulated in Article 40 letter r and Article 59 paragraph (1) letter d of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. Copyright is an exclusive right, meaning that copyright infringement constitutes a complaint-based offense that can only be prosecuted upon a police report from the creator and/or copyright holder, namely the relevant game developer. In Indonesia, filing complaints regarding copyright infringement of video games is challenging, as it often involves the livelihood of many people. The complexity of the elements contained within video game content itself also makes copyright protection efforts a challenge for game developers, as it comprises several forms of intellectual property rights that must each receive IPR protection. Abstract. Kasus pembajakan video game marak terjadi di Indonesia, seperti video game bajakan dalam bentuk DVD dan pengunduhan permainan video bajakan. Para pencipta video game memiliki Hak Cipta agar ciptaannya tidak disalahgunakan oleh oknum yang tidak bertanggungjawab. Tujuan penulisan ini untuk mengetahui pengaturan perlindungan hak cipta terhadap permainan video dan menganalisa penyebab sulitnya penerapan perlindungan hak cipta terhadap permainan video di Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan normatif. Pada pembahasannya dapat diketahui bahwa regulasi tentang perlindungan hak cipta termuat dalam Pasal 40 huruf r dan Pasal 59 ayat (1) huruf d Undang-Undang No. 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta. Hak cipta merupakan hak eksklusif itu artinya pelanggaran hak cipta merupakan delik aduan yang hanya dapat diproses pidana melalui laporan polisi dari pencipta dan atau pemegang hak ciptanya yaitu Games Developer yang bersangkutan. Di Indonesia pengaduan adanya pelanggaran hak cipta terhadap permainan video sulit dilakukan sebab menyangkut mata pencaharian banyak orang. Kompleksitas elemen yang termuat dalam konten video games itu sendiri cukup menjadikan upaya perlindungan hak cipta terhadap permainan video menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi Games Developer sebab di dalamnya terdiri dari beberapa hak kekayaan intelektual yang juga harus mendapat perlindungan HKI.
