The development of digital technology has facilitated the distribution of works, including songs, through platforms such as YouTube, but also increased the risk of copyright infringement. This study analyzes legal protection for copyright holders of songs republished on YouTube without authorization. The method used is normative juridical with a statutory and case study approach. The results show that although Law Number 28 of 2014 provides copyright protection, challenges remain in its digital implementation. Therefore, this study compares it with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States, which offers a notice-and-takedown mechanism. The comparison highlights the need to strengthen Indonesia's digital copyright protection through collaboration between the government, platforms, and the public.

Hak Kekayaan Intelektual adalah hak ekonomi atas karya intelektual, termasuk merek dagang yang membedakan produk suatu perusahaan. Sengketa merek sering terjadi akibat peniruan, terutama terhadap merek terkenal, seperti kasus "Gudang Garam" vs "Gudang Baru" yang dinilai melanggar UU No. 20 Tahun 2016 yang digugat PT. Gudang Garam karena dianggap menyerupai mereknya, baik secara visual maupun unsur lainnya. Metode yuridis normatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam berbagai aspek, termasuk bentuk dan komposisi huruf, komposisi warna, ejaan, gaya penulisan, dan penempatan gambar atau lukisan, terdapat persamaan antara Gudang Garam dan Gudang Baru. Dalam kasus sengketa merek gudang garam dan gudang baru, bentuk kepastian hukum utama adalah keputusan pengadilan yang berkekuatan hukum tetap. Penggunaan merek yang sama merusak hak eksklusif merek dagang yang telah didaftarkan sebelumnya. Dengan demikian, pihak pertama memerlukan perlindungan hukum.

Today's society cannot be separated from the development and progress in the field of science and technology. This progress makes it easier for people to gain access and distribute content through social media, streaming sites, and other digital platforms. Digital content such as music, films, e-books, and graphic designs are vulnerable to duplication, distribution, and reuse without permission. This study aims to analyze the form of norm conflict between the two laws, especially in the practice of blocking content by the government through the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo). This research method uses normative legal research, namely research that is based on literature reviews and analysis of written legal materials. The main focus of the study is the norm conflict between the Copyright Law and the ITE Law using a statute approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. The results of the study show that there is a procedural conflict between the principle of judicial proof in the Copyright Law and the administrative authority in the ITE Law. This conflict creates legal uncertainty, potential violations of digital rights, and the need for regulatory harmonization.
