The Impact of Digitalization on Copyright Law Enforcement in Indonesia: The Case of Non-Fungible Tokens
Trefwoorden:
Digitalization, Copyright, Non-Fungible TokensSamenvatting
Digitalization refers to the process of converting something into digital form. This can be observed in various real-life examples, ranging from digitized documents and images to digitized assets. The latter, in particular, includes non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are unique units of data stored on blockchains that represent physical assets such as artwork, digital content, or videos. Although NFTs are subject to copyright law, how this law is implemented has been evolving. This paper aims to examine the impact of NFTs on copyright law enforcement in Indonesia and explore whether NFTs can be used as collateral.
