Critical Analysis of Copyright's Role in Achieving The Sustainable Development Goals
Keywords:
copyright, education, SDGs, technologyAbstract
This study aims to critically examine the relationship between copyright and sustainable development goals as outlined by the United Nations and to assess the potential negative impacts of achieving these SDGs, particularly in terms of technological advancements in the innovation of copyright. Anticipation of these impacts can be addressed with various future-oriented solutions. A theoretical approach is employed to develop a theory that aligns with legal rules and principles concerning copyright and sustainable development. This research adopts doctrinal legal research methods, utilizing qualitative research with secondary data through literature review techniques. The findings indicate that copyright protection is a crucial enabler for fostering innovation, ensuring equal access to knowledge and technology, and supporting sustainable development in accordance with the goals of SDG 4 and SDG 9. However, in achieving SDG 4, there is a potential for cancel culture in the educational sector, which may lead to issues, and in achieving SDG 9, the potential elimination of private transportation could significantly impact copyright in terms of content creation and dissemination, leading to copyright infringement. In addition, the role of copyright in achieving sustainable development goals can give rise to debate about the copyright protection system and copyright protection theory
