Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright
Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta
What this regulation does
Plain-English summary of the regulation's substance and how it affects PT PMA operations.
UU 28/2014 is Indonesia's modern copyright statute. Most relevant for the regulations registry: Article 42 explicitly excludes works of the Indonesian government and government agencies — including all laws, regulations, ministerial decisions, court judgments, and official documents — from copyright protection. This is the legal basis for indexing and re-publishing Indonesian regulations in summary or aggregated form, as practised by hukumonline.com, peraturan.bpk.go.id, jdihn.go.id, and KBLI Directory's own /regulations registry. Other notable provisions include the standard 70-year-after-author's-death copyright term, fair-use exceptions for education and reporting, registration of copyright via DGIP (Directorate General of Intellectual Property), and remedies for infringement. Cited as the legal authority underlying KBLI Directory's regulation indexing.
