In Indonesia, legal protection for copyright holders and creators is conducted through the National Collective Management Organization, while in Malaysia those issues are handled by Music Rights Malaysia Berhad. The purpose of this research using a comparative legal concept approach is to provide information about music copyright protection in Indonesia and Malaysia regarding legal issues regarding the position of the music copyright protection agency as well as prosecution and legal remedies for copyright infringements within the country and across countries. This study used normative juridical legal research. The results of study show that National Collective Management Institute (NCMI) and Music Rights Malaysia Berhad (MRM) have the same characteristics, namely as independent institutions and have attributive authority to take legal action against Music copyright violations. Furthermore, MRM has a narrower range of royalty collection than NCMI. In addition, MRM has no obligation to mediate if the case is a civil case. Besides, legal efforts that can be carried out by NCMI and MRM can be through the realm of criminal or casuistry litigation or arbitration.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129355317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, it also explores the UK’s experience including the management and policy on the water exploitation. This study employed doctrinal legal research utilizing comparative, statutory, and conceptual approach. The discussion's findings demonstrate that the UK's approach to water management differs from Indonesia's. A system of water privatization is used in UK water regulation. The UK places a high focus on service quality and access to clean water. Therefore, the government offers complaint services regarding water quality in order to regulate the performance of the private sector. The Consumers Council for Water (CCWater) also provides assistance to consumers in homes and businesses. Water and sewage users in the UK and Wales are represented by CCWater, which also accepts unresolved complaints.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116266678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to remove and reduce potential barriers to economic activity, ASEAN has adopted free trade through economic integration among its member nations. This study aims to examine why it is crucial to harmonize ASEAN competition law and to determine what the ASEAN business competition law harmonization model looks like. This paper used normative method with utilizing a statutory and a comparative approach which are presented descriptively. The results demonstrated that legal system conflicts can be addressed and legal disparities can be lessened by initiatives at harmonization. To do this, ASEAN must at the very least harmonize three key aspects of ASEAN Member States' competition laws: the substance of the law, law enforcement, and competition commission. In this context, collaboration amongst competition enforcement agencies can be used to implement the ASEAN model of harmonising competition legislation. Cooperation can take the form of notification, information sharing, enforcement cooperation between commissions, consultation, and conciliation.","PeriodicalId":298750,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Comparative Law Review","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126253642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
