ABSTRACT
Copyright in the field of music and songs has been supported by technological advances one of which is Youtube, with this technological advancement many things can be done by irresponsible people so that it can harm others such as making a cover version of other people's songs and uploading them to Youtube media without getting permission from copyright holders and not infrequently today many become famous and benefit more than creating songs. The collection and collection of data in this study was carried out by document study (Library Research) using skunder data that includes primary, skunder and tertiary legal materials. The results of the study stated that Copyright is an exclusive right where the song cover actor wants to cover the song and seek economic benefits, must get permission / license from the creator so as not to violate the Copyright. Even without recording, copyrighted works have received protection from the Copyright Act. But a copyrighted work would be better if it does the pencant. To cover the song must also be in accordance with certain conditions so as not to violate copyright, and uploading the video cover of the song on Youtube without the creator's permission is a form of law against copyright. Copyright infringement is caused by a factor that causes a lack of awareness of copyright infringement, cultural factors and one of them is economic factors, so many parties who make song covers without the creator's permission and upload to Youtube media benefit from the upload.
