ITS IMPLEMENTATION UNDER INDONESIAN
COPYRIGHT ACT; IS IT A BETTER ACCESS TO
KNOWLEDGE?'
Nurul Barizah2
Abstract
The Indonesian Government has enacted a new Copyright Act in 2014 on the basis that Copyright
protection plays a strategic role for economic development and people 's prosperity. This new Act
provides a higher standard of protection and ensures more legal certainty to copyrights holders. It
is not only expands the scope of protection, duration, but also provides better economic rights to the
right holder This Article analyses Indonesia 's obligation under international treaties and whether
Indonesia takes full advantages ofall the flexibilities available under those treaties to enhance access
to knowledge particularly for educational materials. It also analyses substantial provisions ofthe new
Copyright Act in the context of scope, duration, limitations, and its exceptions. This Article argues
that strongest protection of copyright is far beyond what is required by the international copyright
treaties which Indonesia has acceded to them. This Article also argues that all available limitations
and exceptions provided by the treaties that would have opened up access to knowledge has not all
incorporated into the new Act. Accordingly, this Act has a potential to inhibit access to knowledge.
Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengundangkan Undang-Undang tentang Hak Cipta yang baru
tahun 2014 atas dasar bahwa perlindungan Hak Cipta memainkan peranan yang strategis bagi
pembangunan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan masyakarat. Undang- Undang yang baru mi menetapkan
standart perlindungan yang lebih tinggi dan lebih menjamin kepastian hukum bagi pemegang Hak
Cipta. Undang-Undang mi tidak hanya memperluas lingkup dan jangka waktu perlindungan tetapi
juga menetapkan hak-hak ekonomi yang lebih baik bagi pemegang hak. Artikel ini menganalisa
kewajiban Indonesia berdasarkan treaties internasional dan apakah Indonesia mengambil semua
keuntungan dari fleksibilitas-fleksibiltas yang disediakan oleh treaties tersebutguna mendorong akses
ilmupengetahuan terutama materi pendidikan. Artikel ini menganalisa ketentuan-ketentuan substansi
dari Undang-Undang tentang Hak Cipta yang baru mengenai lingkup, jangka waktu, pembatasan-
pembatasan dan perkecualian-perkecualiannya. Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa perlindungan Hak
Cipta yang lebih kuat, telah melebihi dari yang syaratkan oleh international treaties mengenai Hak
Cipta yang telah disepakati Indonesia. Artikel mi juga berpendapat bahwa semua pembatasan dan
perkecualian yang disediakan oleh treaties mengenai Hak Cipta tersebut, yang akan membuka akses
pengetahuan, tidak dimasukkan dalam Undang-Undang yang baru, sehingga Undang-Undang mi
mempunyai potensi menghambat akses pengetahuan.
