payment regulations for the book writers.
This research used empirical-normative law research method. The data of the
research consisted of primary data and secondary data. All of the collected data were
analyzed using qualitative method. The results of this research were presented in a
descriptive analysis data.
This research found that the regulations for royalty payments had been regulated
in the Indonesian Copyright Regulations year 2002 and Indonesian Copyright
Regulations year 2014, but it was shown by the fact that there was still so many
violations in the implementation process of royalty payment for the book creators. The
violation is publishing the book beyond what has been agreed between the publishers and
the book creators. Many of this were caused by the ignorance by most people to
understand the regulations of Indonesian Copyright Regulations, and also because both of
Indonesian Copyright Regulations were not very clear in the explanation regarding
royalty payments for the book creators.
