AbstractAs a developing country, Indonesia needs to strive for strong competition among the business community. This is in line with global conditions in the field of trade and investment. Such competitiveness has long been known in the Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) system.The era of globalization, this is arguably one of the causes of intellectual property rights violations (IPR). Like a time bomb that can explode at any time and the explosion effect can be on everything around it. Progress in all sectors, especially in the fields of industry and trade, is one of the victims of globalization. The higher industrialization flows and trade flows demanded the accuracy and speed of transactions are in part. And of course there are many problems that arise in it, because in every positive case there is a negative side. For example, in the case of "Music Industry" (Music Industry), especially in the cassette / DVD / VCD trade, sometimes people who are positioned as consumers prefer prices that are relatively cheap rather than expensive. Although of course the expensive ones have higher quality.Some time ago, precisely in July 2012 as quoted in the sitejogja.okezone.com The Government through the Directorate of Investigation of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (HAM) handled 44 cases of intellectual property rights violations (HKI) per May 2012. The 44 cases are related to the IPR domain, namely cases of copyright, patent, brand, industrial design, and Trade Secrets violations. And according to the Investigation Director of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Mohammad Adri, said, of the 44 cases of violations of IPR, the most cases were cases of brand violations which reached 27 cases. The second most, cases of industrial design violations (7 cases) and copyright cases (4 cases). The remaining patent cases and trade secrets. Illegal or pirated computer software problems are found in copyright cases.

Software piracy or ‘softlifting’, the unauthorized use or illegal copying of computer software seems to be a persistent and truly global phenomenon, in spite of international efforts to reduce it. Could the battle against it be won by just merely accepting international standards for the protection of intellectual property rights? The answer to this question is the main focus of this research. This paper explores the determinants of cross-national variation in software piracy rates by performing a quantitative analysis using economic, cultural and legal variables. Based on regression analysis results, we identified factors which have a significant impact on software piracy. Among them, economic and legal factors make the most important contribution to the variability of worldwide software piracy rates. The implications of these results both for practice and theory are discussed.
