These three treaties regulate economic rights and moral rights for creators and performers, including those related to music and songs in the digital (internet) era Indonesian Copyright Law has regulations about Copyrights Recordation and Its recordation can be applied by applicant(s) even Creator or the Owner of Copyrights to Directorate General Intellectual Property (Indonesia IP Office).
