Referring to the explanation in Article 1 Number 1 Law Number 28 of 2014 what is meant by Copyright is the exclusive right of the creator that arises automatically based on declarative principles after a creation is realized in a tangible form without reducing restrictions in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations.

In fact, Copyright is an exclusive right that not only includes economic rights to obtain economic benefits from its creation, but also moral rights that are permanently attached to the Creator, for example, to continue to include or not include his name on copies in connection with the use of his creation for the public as can be seen in Article 5 of the Copyright Law.

And as common knowledge that not all actions of covering a song can be said to infringe copyright provided that several terms and conditions are met. We can see this in Article 43 letter d of the Copyright Law which states that actions and dissemination of Copyright content through information and communication technology media that are non-commercial and/or benefit the Creator or related parties, or the Creator states that he has no objection to the actions and dissemination, it is not considered a Copyright infringement.

However, if the perpetrator of the song cover does not heed these provisions, both rights moral and economic rights and the act is intended for commercial purposes or to benefit himself or his group without the permission of the Creator or parties who have rights to the work, then the act of covering the song can be said to have violated Copyright.
