LEGAL PROTECTION CREATORS FROM REMIX SONG USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE THROUGH YOUTUBE

Abstract

The development of the content world is currently so massive that it targets commercial interests that benefit every content creator, one of which is through the YouTube platform which is a website-based platform that contains various kinds of video uploads. This video upload can contain various things, one of which is about a song that was changed in the form of a remix cover version. In its development, it can be found that a song that has been created into a new work like the one on Dj Opus's Youtube content has the potential to be a violation of song copyright. So that this research aims to examine and analyze forms of copyright infringement on remix cover versions that are used for commercial purposes through the YouTube digital broadcasting platform. This study uses normative juridical research using a case approach and a conceptual approach which is analyzed using a qualitative descriptive analysis method. The findings obtained are in the form of the need for protection for songwriters for their rights, especially economic rights obtained from the use of their songs which are made into a new work in the form of a remix cover version, in this case it can be explained that legal protection for songwriters needs to extend to content -Youtube content that contains copyrighted songs, so the songwriter will not be disadvantaged if the song being a remixed cover version has higher demand than the original song.
