Abstract: The music industry has undergone significant transformation since the early 21st century, driven by the emergence of digital technology such as music streaming platforms and online music stores. While these developments have brought considerable benefits to copyright owners and listeners, they have also presented new challenges related to cybersecurity and copyright protection. In Indonesia, the establishment of the National Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN) and cybersecurity regulations demonstrates the government's commitment to addressing these threats. However, there are still unresolved copyright violations, particularly with regard to song copyright royalties on digital platforms. Utilising an adapted approach method, which employs a normative juridical approach, this journal aims to illuminate the need for further efforts in developing regulations to address differences in rules and copyright mechanisms on global digital platforms. Additionally, it emphasises the importance of strengthening cybersecurity practices to combat piracy and maintain the sustainability of legal business models in the music industry. By exploring the financial, emotional, and reputational impacts of royalty violations, this journal provides a comprehensive understanding of the urgency of copyright protection and cybersecurity in maintaining the stability of the music industry in the digital era.
