When you need to combine music with visual content in Indonesia, a Synchronization License is your essential legal safeguard. This agreement allows you to legally use copyrighted musical works in audiovisual productions while protecting the rights of composers, publishers, and other copyright holders. Under Indonesian law, using music without proper synchronization rights constitutes copyright infringement and can result in significant legal penalties.

When do you need this document?

You require a Synchronization License whenever you plan to combine existing musical works with visual elements in your production. This includes creating television commercials where background music enhances your marketing message, producing films or documentaries that feature licensed songs, developing video games with copyrighted soundtracks, or creating digital content for streaming platforms. The license is also necessary for educational videos, corporate presentations, and social media content that incorporates protected musical works. Even brief musical excerpts require proper licensing to avoid copyright violations.

Key legal considerations

Your Synchronization License must clearly define the scope of rights granted, including specific media formats, distribution channels, and geographical territories. The agreement should specify whether you're obtaining mechanical rights, performance rights, or both, as these are often separate licensing requirements. Consider the duration of your license carefully, as some productions may require extended or perpetual usage rights. Fee structures can vary significantly based on the prominence of the music, duration of use, and intended distribution scope. Include provisions for credit requirements and restrictions on altering the original musical work. Address moral rights protections, which are particularly important under Indonesian copyright law.

Legal requirements in Indonesia

Indonesian copyright law requires that Synchronization Licenses comply with Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright, which grants creators exclusive rights over their musical works for 70 years after the creator's death. Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021 specifically addresses royalty management and licensing procedures for musical works. Your license must be in writing and clearly identify all parties, the specific musical work, and the intended use. For digital distribution, ensure compliance with Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions. The Indonesian Recording Industry Association (ASIRI) and other collective management organizations may need to be consulted for certain types of licensing. Consider local content regulations if your production will be distributed through Indonesian broadcasting networks or digital platforms.
