COPYRIGHT LEGAL PROTECTION FOR GOLDSMITHS' ARTWORK IN JAYAPURA CITY

Abstract

This research aims to determine the factors that cause widespread copyright violations in the form of piracy of gold works of art among gold craftsmen in Jayapura City and also to find out the enforcement of Haki law in Jayapura City, especially those related to Copyright violations of gold works of art. This research was carried out using legal research methods with sociological juridical approach techniques, namely analyzing research problems based on the application of positive law against Copyright violators. Apart from the approach mentioned above, a normative juridical approach is also used, namely a legal research method approach whose data is based on secondary data obtained through literature studies originating from reference books to support primary data obtained from the field. The results of the research show that the reason for the widespread piracy or imitation of gold craft motifs in Jayapura is because of the collectivist values held by Indonesian society, especially among craftsmen, so that the creation of a motif immediately becomes common property, giving rise to imitation. The enforcement and protection of IPR law is not going well at all among Indonesian society, including the gold crafts community which has values and views that are different from the economic values adhered to by the capitalist economy. On the other hand, the legal awareness of the community in general and gold craftsmen in Jayapura in particular is very worrying, they don't understand Haki at all, let alone the procedures for registering it, they don't care what happens to their work.
