##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The concerning numbers of copyright infringement in Indonesia’s creative industries raises a question on whether there is an obstacle in enforcing the law or whether there are loopholes in its regulatory framework. Comparatively, the United States as one of the developed countries, is rather firm and strict when it comes to protecting its intellectual property rights against other countries. While the ever-growing business sectors may play a significant role in contributing to the strict protection of copyright law for its economic growth, the United States’ legal framework regarding copyright must also play a predominant role in safeguarding its copyright protection. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to analyze the differences between the provisions stipulated in the copyright regulation in Indonesia and the copyright regulation in the United States. In addition, by conducting a comparison with the United States’ legal framework, this article seeks to reflect on what improvements shall be made towards the legal framework in Indonesia, in order to accommodate the protection of creators’ exclusive rights in creative industries more effectively.
