According to USTR, the cause of the high violation regarding copyright in this country was the piracy of optical discs of music, films, and devices. The Business Software Alliance (BSA) reported that software piracy in Indonesia had reached 88%, potentially losing about $ 157 million in 2003. It means the result percentage above was placed Indonesia as the fourth hijacking country in the world and the third in the Asia Pacific. Since 1999, this country cannot move out from the top fourth position of the country with the highest level of piracy. In responding to the reports, Indonesia provided a legal device, namely new copyright of regulation.
