Abstract

The problem that occurs in social media practices is that there are many copyright violations committed by platform users, especially content creators. When a copyright violation occurs by a content creator, of course the person who is harmed is the owner/copyright holder of a work that is misused by the content creator for commercial purposes. The problem is that social media users and content creators are ordinary people who often do not understand copyright law issues. Here the question naturally arises, what is the role of User Generated Content (UGC)-based digital service providers in preventing misuse of other people's copyrighted works on the UGC platforms they manage. And what is the legal responsibility for digital service providers for copyright violations that occur on their platforms?

This normative legal study relies on primary and secondary legal sources, namely research that pertains to the standards outlined in statutory rules. By employing two research methodologies, specifically the statutory approach and the conceptual approach.

This study produces a conclusion that platforms providing UGC services are obliged to ensure that there are no copyright violations on their platforms and are responsible if there are copyright violations committed by content creators / users on their platforms, both criminally and civilly.
