LAW, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THE KARAOKE BUSINESS

Intellectual property law, particularly copyright law, is a significant challenge for karaoke businesses. The necessity of obtaining proper music licenses is well-understood, but the complexities and costs involved often lead to gaps in compliance. Local regulations, including zoning laws, noise ordinances, and alcohol licensing, further complicate the legal landscape for karaoke operators. Non-compliance with these laws can result in severe penalties, including fines, legal disputes, and potential business closures. Social media has emerged as an essential tool for marketing and customer engagement in the karaoke industry. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok enable businesses to reach a broader audience and create interactive experiences that enhance customer loyalty. However, the use of copyrighted music in social media posts poses significant legal risks. While social media offers opportunities for growth, businesses must navigate these platforms carefully to avoid copyright infringement and other legal challenges. Managing online reputations is critical in the age of social media, where negative reviews or viral posts can significantly impact a business's image. Proactive strategies for handling customer feedback and maintaining a positive online presence are essential for mitigating reputational risks. The regulatory environment for karaoke businesses is evolving, with stricter enforcement of copyright laws and changing social media policies. Businesses must stay informed and adapt to these changes to ensure continued compliance and operational success. Karaoke businesses should prioritize legal education and seek expert guidance to navigate the complexities of copyright law and other regulatory requirements effectively. Clear social media policies that address the use of copyrighted material and customer interactions are vital for minimizing legal risks and maximizing the benefits of digital marketing. Implementing robust reputation management strategies, including prompt responses to online reviews and engagement with customers, can help maintain a positive public image and reduce the impact of negative feedback. Businesses should monitor changes in copyright enforcement and social media regulations, adapting their practices accordingly. Forming partnerships with music rights organizations or utilizing technology solutions can streamline compliance efforts.

Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Hak Kekayaan Intelektual Hak Cipta dalam Perspektif Hukum Pidana

Indonesia is a country of law, not a country of power. This declaration is clearly explained in Article 1 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution. As a constitutional state, Indonesia has a number of legal provisions. One of the provisions of this law is copyright law. Meanwhile, copyright actually falls within the scope of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Law. This research uses many approaches, including a legal approach which is carried out by examining all legal provisions relating to the legal issues being studied. Apart from that, the conceptual approach also deviates from the perspectives and theories developed in legal science. One of the common obstacles is weak law enforcement against copyright infringement. This is caused by various factors, including a lack of human resources, technology and budget for copyright enforcement. In addition, courts continue to face obstacles in handling copyright infringement cases, including judges' limited knowledge of copyright and a lack of evidence. It can be concluded that copyright law enforcement in Indonesia still faces several problems, such as weak supervision and inefficient law enforcement. This has an impact on the number of piracy cases that occur in Indonesia. To increase the application of criminal sanctions for copyright infringement, the Indonesian government needs to strengthen law enforcement and provide education and training to judges and other judicial personnel.

Effects of Innovation Culture on the Performance of Genge Music Production Companies in Starehe Sub-County, Nairobi County, Kenya

The Kenya Vision 2030 identifies music and performing arts as one of the sectors that can contribute towards transforming Kenya into a globally competitive and prosperous country with a high quality of life by 2030. In particular, the Genge music industry has the potential to create employment for many young people in the country due to the appeal that this music genre has to youth. However, Genge music production companies have not been effective in creating stable employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for many young people. In this regard, the study sought to examine the effect of innovation culture on the performance of Genge music production companies in Starehe Sub-County, Nairobi County, Kenya. The study made use of the convergent parallel research design that combined quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The quantitative component of the study targeted a population of 252 workers in six Genge music production companies located in Starehe Sub-County, while the qualitative component targeted 10 directors of the Music Copyright Association of Kenya (MCSK) and Kenya Association Music Producers (KAMP). A sample of 70 workers was selected using the proportionate random sampling method for the purposes of collecting quantitative data using survey questionnaires. On the other hand, qualitative data was collected using interview guides from six directors of the MCSK and KAMP that were selected purposively. Findings revealed that Genge music companies have performed relative well in terms of generating revenues to meet their costs, signing new artists, and increasing revenues from music streams. However, the firms have not excelled when it comes to providing adequate remuneration to artists. The study found a statistically significant positive association between the performance of Genge music production companies and innovation culture (β =.607, t = 5.785, p =.002). The finding led to the conclusion that inculcating an innovation culture would enhance the performance of the Genge music production companies. The study recommends that policymakers at the State Department of Culture and Heritage should enhance enforcement of copyright law to promote innovation culture. If implemented, the recommendation will be of benefits to Kenyan youth interested in making a career in the music production value chain, either as artists, sound engineers, videographers, song writers, or marketers, among other music production professions.

The implementation of intellectual property rights to enhance music business in Zimbabwe: Challenges and prospects

In the Zimbabwe music industry, the issue of copyright law implementation has been problematic with intellectual property rights violations plaguing the society and resulting in musicians failing to fully benefit financially from their creations. This study is an attempt to find out how musicians are benefiting from their intellectual property that is being used by various businesses including broadcasters. We argue that the problem of piracy has become an Achilles tendon for many artists despite the presence of a copyright law enforcement regime in the country. This article examines the nature and consequences of the copyright law in the country, as well as the way in which ZIMURA is implementing it to advance the cause of popular musicians. The article illustrates how the challenges faced by ZIMURA serve to impoverish Zimbabwean musicians in unheralded ways that leave a good number of artists poor and famous. This qualitative study uses participant observation, document analysis and key informant interviews with purposively selected informants to elucidate the implementation of intellectual property rights in Zimbabwe’s music industry. The analysis is informed by the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach as well as Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital. The findings show that in Zimbabwe music is taken as free property by most users who either sell pirated copies or access them for personal use without paying anything. From the study, it is clear that musicians are not getting a fair share of their intellectual property in the form of royalties. It is also notable that music that is appreciated more gets paid more royalties than music which is not popular with broadcasters and audiences.

The issue of regulation of criminal copyright offenses has not been fair due to weaknesses in legal substance in the form of Article 120 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright which changes copyright criminal offenses to complaint offenses, then structural weaknesses in the form of the inability of law enforcers to take action against perpetrators of criminal rights copyright without any complaints by the copyright owner beforehand, cultural weaknesses in the form of not all people being aware of the importance of copyright registration and the existence of copyrights, so that not many copyright owners really protect their rights through law. Article 120 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 28 of 2014 Concerning Copyrights needs to be abolished.

The Role of Bahraini Law on Online Copyright Infringement

The main aim of this research paper is to look at the role of Bahraini law in copyright infringement. In Bahrain, many commercially pirated audio and video markets have been eliminated through various laws. However, video, software and audio piracy by end-users is still a huge problem. A copyright infringement is considered to be a violation of an organization or individual’s copyright. It describes the copyrighted material’s unauthorized use, such as images, text, videos, software, music and other original content. Copyright infringements have been formally addressed through various copyrights law in Bahrain, but there are some glaring omissions as well. No other protect has been attacked more than computer hardware and software in Bahrain, copying of computer software is “out of control” in Bahrain. Many companies have been accused of using illegal copies of Microsoft computer software products. The study argues that country might have a beautifully tidy and coherent law, but it might not be followed. The mechanisms of criminal and civil enforcement, and the working of patent and trademark offices and of the judicial system itself, are essential to the enforcement of copyright laws in practice. The absence of governmental interference helps Bahraini software pirates to work at will. The study concludes while contended that there should be a law with regard to compulsory licensing since this compulsory licensing would be required by the companies to transfer data to a domestic partner. Furthermore, stricter enforcement of copyright laws is essential because they would help prevent copyright infringements in Bahrain.

Character Adaptations: Recurrence and Return

AbstractThis paper examines recurring character storytelling as the most prodigiously successful tradition in fiction of the last two hundred years. James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales and Honoré de Balzac’s La Comédie humaine are proposed as significant precursors that embody two dominant trends within recurring character storytelling: the central protagonist series and the populous storyworld. The foundations of recurring character storytelling are traced in a range of determinants including: increasing literacy and the rise of popular genres; modes of serial publication; and the development and enforcement of copyright law. Finally, focusing upon the central protagonist variant, the age and aging of recurring characters are discussed as a necessary consideration for the makers and adapters of such series. Several are analysed, including James Bond, Sharpe, the Morse franchise, and Midsomer Murders, to illuminate how makers handle chronology, the passage of time, and related issues in adaptation. As part of an assessment of the ‘affordances’ of recurring character fictions, nostalgia and familiarity are discussed as significant dimensions of the experience they furnish.

PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP HAK CIPTA LAGU DAN MUSIK MENURUT UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 28 TAHUN 2004

The rapid development of information technology has a positive and negative impact on the enforcement of Copyright law. The positive impact is in line with technological advances, especially the internet, so it's easy to buy original songs or music through online shopping facilities. While the negative impact is the increasing number of links downloading songs or illegal music in cyberspace, as well as the easier the piracy of voice recording works in the real world. The research method used in this study is a library research method that is normative juridical, namely research that refers to legal norms that exist in legislation, literature, expert opinions, papers, etc. In this case the copyright registration of the song and music is not an evidence if there is a copyright dispute over the song and music on the internet media, if there is prior publication carried out by one of the parties to the dispute then someone who can prove the authenticity of his creation will be the copyright holder of the disputed song or music. In Article 35 paragraph (4) the Copyright Act explains that the provisions on registration of work are not an obligation to obtain a Copyright, because Copyright protection arises automatically, (Automatic Protection) since the creation is manifested in a tangible form, without having to go through registration procedure

Authors, Users and Pirates: Copyright Law and Subjectivity

In current debates over copyright law, the author, the user, and the pirate are almost always invoked. Some in the creative industries call for more legal protection for the authors; activists and academics promote user rights and user-generated content; and online pirates openly challenge the strict enforcement of copyright law. James Meese offers a new way to think about these three central subjects of copyright law, proposing a relational framework that encompasses all three. Meese views authors, users and pirates as interconnected subjects, analyzing them as a relational triad. He argues that addressing the relationships among the three subjects will shed light on how the key conceptual underpinnings of copyright law are justified in practice. His work rests on the comparative analysis of the legal situation in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Fixing Safe Harbor: An Economic Analysis

When a pirated version of a copyrighted work is shared over the Internet, many online intermediaries may participate, exposing these firms to liability through legal concepts such as direct, contributory and vicarious infringement. Safe harbors largely shield intermediaries from “crippling liability” in return for cooperative action on infringing materials. Yet, digital piracy remains a problem. In this POLICY PAPER, we offer a simple economic model of safe harbor protection, demonstrating that de minimis liability for these platforms promotes infringing platforms to the detriment of responsible ones. Increasing the risk of liability for infringement results in a “separating equilibrium,” with one platform offering only legitimate and high-value content and another offering a combination of illegitimate and low-value content. Effective platform liability should ultimately change the structure of the platform industry, which we believe should improve enforcement of copyright law. Legal changes similar to those prescribed here were recently been proposed in the European Union.

How copyright shaped the music industry: a comparative and empirical assessment on copyright enforcement in the PRC and the ROC

Since 2000, the revenue of the music industry has plummeted worldwide. Meanwhile, the advancement of technology has created many changes that has transformed the copyright law system, raising doubts about the effectiveness and necessity of copyright law system. This article conducts comparative and qualitative research on the music industry of mainland China and Taiwan, to study the effect of copyright law enforcement to the music industry. In mainland China, the laws, enforcement campaigns, and judicial decisions did not create significant impact on average citizens nor the creative industries. On the contrary, through copyright law legislation and amendments, enforcement, judicial decisions, unspoken rules, and business practices, the notion to respect copyright have been embedded in most people’s minds in Taiwan. It was believed that copyright, manifests in its various of forms, is the keystone to the environment that attracted talent all over the Greater China region to Taiwan.

Risk, Benefit, and Moderators of the Affect Heuristic in a Widespread Unlawful Activity: Evidence from a Survey of Unlawful File-Sharing Behavior.

Increasing the perception of legal risk via publicized litigation and lobbying for copyright law enforcement has had limited success in reducing unlawful content sharing by the public. We consider the extent to which engaging in file sharing online is motivated by the perceived benefits of this activity as opposed to perceived legal risks. Moreover, we explore moderators of the relationship between perceived risk and perceived benefits; namely, trust in industry and legal regulators, and perceived online anonymity. We examine these questions via a large two‐part survey of consumers of music (n = 658) and eBooks (n = 737). We find that perceptions of benefit, but not of legal risk, predict stated file‐sharing behavior. An affect heuristic is employed: as perceived benefit increases, perceived risk falls. This relationship is increased under high regulator and industry trust (which actually increases perceived risk in this study) and low anonymity (which also increases perceived risk). We propose that, given the limited impact of perceived legal risk upon unlawful downloading, it would be better for the media industries to target enhancing the perceived benefit and availability of lawful alternatives.
