Rulemaking in digital trade is proceeding apace. Many preferential trade agreements contain dedicated e-commerce or digital trade chapters and some states have entered into stand-alone digital economy agreements. This article seeks to establish whether, and to what extent, normative change is occurring in digital trade agreements, the nature of any changes, and identify which states are acting as norm entrepreneurs. We employ a new method of legal coding, systematically comparing the nature and prescriptiveness of digital provisions in 12 trade agreements concluded between 2019 and 2023. We find evidence of substantial policy innovation, and identify Singapore as the key norm entrepreneur. A new wave of ‘Singapore-led’ agreements substantially expands the scope of digital trade, to cover areas such as digital identities, e-invoicing and e-payments, the governance of AI, and regulation of new digital technologies. Commitments are typically couched as soft rather than hard law, reflecting the nascent stages of rulemaking. Norm entrepreneurship on the part of Singapore and its allies reflects a desire to position themselves as ‘digital hubs’ in the global economy, spur rulemaking in areas where innovation is ahead of regulation, and promote digital interconnectivity at time of regulatory divergence and geopolitical rivalry.

The advancement of technology through the development of the internet has changed of society on a global scale, especially in the trade sector. Conventional businesses have shifted to online or e-commerce platforms. However, pirated goods have also made their way to these platforms. It would be unfair to hold merchants as the sole responsible party accountable for copyright infringements. Therefore, e-commerce platforms were also made liable. E-commerce platforms should be informed on the extent of their responsibilities regarding copyright infringement to ensure legal certainty and justice in conducting digital business. This research analyzes the responsibilities of ecommerce platforms as internet intermediaries regarding copyright infringement in Indonesia and provides comparisons with Singapore. This study is normative research that was analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive method. Although the legal system of Indonesia and Singapore differ, the results show many similarities regarding the responsibilities of e-commerce platforms as internet intermediaries in copyright infringements.

The internet has changed the behavior of society and human civilization as a whole. While it has led to many positive developments, it has also resulted in the copyright infringement of intellectual property distributed on the internet. As it would be almost impossible to hold internet users responsible for copyright infringement, it is more effective to hold internet intermediaries responsible instead. Internet intermediaries are parties or companies that provide access for internet users to copyrighted content, for example, internet service providers, social media platforms, marketplaces, and websites. This research analyzes the responsibility of internet intermediaries in copyright infringement in Indonesia and comparing the results to the United States and India. The objective of the research was to find out the liability of internet intermediaries on online copyright infringement through the criminal and civil law. This is normative research that is analyzed qualitatively using descriptive methods. Based on the results of the discussion and analysis, it is concluded that it is highly necessary to have laws regulating the liability of internet intermediaries in order to provide legal protection for copyright holders and legal certainty for business actors, especially those engaged in the digital sector.
