Draft Bill on Copyright Will Implement One Stop Shop Concept

 
Happy Rayna Stephany, Robert Sidauruk
 
Marking 12 years since the latest Copyright Law was issued, the Government is currently preparing a new regulatory framework for copyright under a Draft Bill on Copyright (Draft Bill). One of the most important provisions in the Draft Bill is the newly to be introduced concept of a One Stop Shop.
 
According to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Ministry), this could be the solution for the current chaos in the collection of copyright royalties by collective rights managers—commonly referred to as copyright collectives.
 
This concept was affirmed by Yuslisar Ningsih, the Director of Copyright, Industrial Design, Integrated Circuit Design, and Trade Secrets at the Ministry.
 
 “The Draft Bill will use the One Stop Shop principle as the mechanism for collecting royalties,” said Mrs. Ningsih in Jakarta on Wednesday.
 
Mrs. Ningsih explained that the One Stop Shop concept is seen as the best solution for solving the current mess with the royalty collection system, currently performed by numerous copyright collectives.
 
According to Mrs. Ningsih, a number of existing copyright collectives often confuse copyright users. As a consequence, this leads to overlapping royalty collection schemes by multiple collective rights managers.
 
The lack of transparency within the current royalty collection system is also the reason why a One Stop Shop is needed. Mrs. Ningsih believes that until now the formula for disbursing royalties to copyright owners by their the copyright collectives has been unclear. On several occasions, for example, Mrs. Ningsih said, copyright users are asked to pay several types of royalties according to the type of music they use.
 
“This is such an unfair practice,” says Mr. Ningsih.
 
Agung Damarsasongki, Head of Legal and Litigation at the Directorate, explained that under the One Stop Shop, existing collective rights management bodies are prohibited from collecting royalties from copyright users.
 
Mr. Damarsasongki further explained that the One Stop Shop concept works so that only registered copyright collectives can submit lists of copyright owners that are members of their organizations, with the collection of royalties performed by a central Collective Rights Management body.
 
To strengthen transparency, Mr. Damarsasongki said that the existing collective rights managers must perform a financial audit and report the results to the Government. If the report shows that the respective collective rights managers impose unreasonable fees on copyright owners, the Government may revoke their business license.
 
“If the copyright owners are aggravated based on the audit report, the Government will revoke the Collective Rights Manager’s business license,” Mr. Damarsasongki concluded.
