Lampung artists receive free copyright certificates from Ministry of Law and Human Rights

The Lampung Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights has issued free copyright registration certificates to artists and creative economy practitioners. This initiative, coinciding with the "Hari Pengayoman" (Custodianship Day), aims to offer legal protection and secure intellectual property rights for creators.

Damsi Tarmizi, an urban artist with 30 years of experience, was among the recipients. His work, characterized by cubist deconstruction and abstract-decorative elements, often features stylized cats. Tarmizi explains that cats symbolize vitality, adaptability, and quietude amidst urban chaos, creating a dialogue with the public space.

This program is a concrete step by the state to provide legal protection and certainty of intellectual property rights for creators.

This program, driven by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), encourages creators to formalize their work to combat digital piracy. It targets various art forms, including visual arts, performing arts, and literature, aiming to enhance legal protection and economic value for creative outputs.

The Ministry reaffirms its commitment to expanding copyright protection access, raising legal awareness, and appreciating creators nationwide. The initiative transforms urban spaces into dynamic arenas of expression, enriching the visual experience of city dwellers.

Cats symbolize vitality, the ability to adapt, and the relationship of silence amidst the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape.
