This study aims to explain the Collective Management Organization's function in copyright protection, particularly with regard to the collection of royalties from an Indonesian legal standpoint, and to investigate its function with regard to dance works that are used for commercial purposes in digital media in the tourism industry. This study combines statutory and conceptual techniques with normative legal research. According to the study's findings, the Collective Management Organization's role has historically been more heavily centered on obtaining royalties for musical and lyrical works as compensation for the creators' exclusive rights. In Indonesia, Articles 87 to 93 of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright regulate the existence of a Collective Management Organization. The Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021 on Management of Song and/or Music Copyright Royalties, which expressly governs the collecting of royalty fees for music and songs, is explicitly covered by Article 89 of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. In fact, Article 88 (2) (c) of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and Article 3 (c) of Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 36 of 2018 on Procedures for Application and Issuance of Operational Permits and Evaluation of Collective Management Organizations allow Collective Management Organizations to play roles in other copyright works, such as dances, in addition to music and songs. Dances may also be commercially exploited via digital technology without the Authors' or other relevant rights holders' consent. Therefore, it is important to establish a specific Collective Management Organization for dance and other performing arts, considering that the existing Collective Management Organizations only focus on music and songs.
