Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Bahasa Pemrograman Dalam Undang-Undang Tentang Hak Cipta

Abstract

Computer programs are ideally the object of protection under copyright law. One of the components or elements in making a computer program is an algorithm and a programming language. Because the programming language is the main component for a computer program, it creates a problem for copyrighted objects because copyright does not provide clarity on the protection of programming languages. This research is to examine whether Law no. 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright protects programming languages as objects of copyright? Research with normative juridical method. The results of the study concluded that Law no. 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright does not explicitly mention programming languages as objects protected by copyright law. The programming language itself in Law no. 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright cannot be classified into literary works because there is no aspect of beauty in programming languages.
