While the law enforcement is considered not optimal. This is due to the many obstacles in its implementation, such as copyright laws that cannot keep pace with developments in technology and information. Institutions related to copyright protection have not shown optimal performance. Public legal awareness of the basic concept of copyright is still minimal. This is also based on low economic factors that encourage people to prefer to infringe copyright.
