Indonesia demands $4.3M in music royalties from Netflix or faces shutdown

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Indonesia has ordered Netflix to pay approximately US$4.3 million in music royalties, stemming from a decade of non-compliance with the country's copyright laws. The National Collective Management Organisation (LMKN) stated that Netflix has not paid royalties since launching its commercial digital service in Indonesia in 2016. Failure to settle this debt could lead to Netflix facing a shutdown in the country, with the LMKN prepared to escalate the issue to the Law Ministry and the Communications and Digital Affairs Ministry.
