Legal Protection of Copyright towards Non-Fungible Token Artwork in Indonesia’s Crypto Marketplaces

Abstract

Technological developments lead to new challenges especially the protection of copyrights law. With the emergence of blockchain-integrated digital artworks called Non-Fungible Tokens. Copyright is one of the challenges that must be guaranteed by the implementation of art creators in the NFT market place in Indonesia. This research is applying a normative juridical method by reviewing Law number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and Law number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions. In solving problems that arise, the creator of the NFT can file a protest to the relevant market place to remove copyright infringement that is in the market place and resolve it legally according to the laws and regulations. However, enforcement of copyright infringement of NFT artworks is still limited to administrative sanctions.
