Copyright is one part of intellectual property that has the broadest scope of protected objects, as it includes science, art, and literature, which also encompasses computer programs. The development of the creative economy, which is one of Indonesia's and various countries' mainstays, and the rapid advancement of information and communication technology necessitate the renewal of the Copyright Law, considering that Copyright is the most important basis of the national creative economy. With a Copyright Law that meets the elements of protection and development of the creative economy, it is hoped that the contribution of the Copyright and Related Rights sector to the national economy can be more optimal.
