Article 6 of Indonesia's Law No. 28 of 2014 (the Copyright Law) contains a provision on copyright management information (CMI), which states that authors may use CMI and copyright electronic information to protect their moral rights. CMI includes information on methods or systems that can identify the originality of the author's works and the information code and access code.

Article 7(3) of the Copyright Law stipulates that CMI and copyright electronic information owned by the authors are prohibited from being removed, changed or damaged.

Article 52 of the Copyright Law provides a provision prohibiting anyone from damaging, destroying, eliminating or disabling the function of technological protection measures (TPMs) used as safeguards for copyrighted works or related rights products, except for state defense and security purposes and other grounds according to the provisions of laws and regulations, or as otherwise agreed.

There is no provision restricting the ability of manufacturers to incorporate TPM or digital rights management (DRM) protections to limit the platforms on which content can be played.

We are unaware of any challenge under competition laws against TPM or DRM protection.
