This study is conducted in order to identify deficiencies in Indonesia’s system and draw lessons from the United Kingdom’s royalty distribution framework such as the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988, with Phonographic Performance Limited representing performers and record labels and the Performing Rights Society for Music representing composers and publishers. This legal research is conducted through normative empirical legal research by using comparative approach. The data is obtained from literary studies in a form of legislation, journals, books, and interviews with industry participants. This legal research consequently yields two findings in relation to the matter in which first, Indonesia does have an existing law which regulates the economic rights of performers however there are still normative ambiguities and weak enforcement of the related institutions which causes deficiencies in practice. Secondly, this research provides information on how Indonesia should regulate such matter to adjust with the frequent and repetitive identified complications endured by performers by reviewing and comparing from how the United Kingdom governs the same matter.
