The obligation to pay royalties constitutes a legal instrument for protecting the economic rights of authors and related rights holders arising from the use of musical works and songs in public places. In practice, the regulations governing royalty payments for the commercial use of music continue to give rise to differing interpretations, particularly concerning the obligation to obtain direct permission from songwriters and the payment mechanisms administered through Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) and the National Collective Management Organization (LMKN). This study aims to analyze legal certainty regarding the obligation to pay royalties for the public performance of music and songs under Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and from the perspective of al-maslahah in Constitutional Court Decision No. 28/PUU-XXIII/2025. This study employs a normative juridical method using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data consist of secondary data obtained through library research, encompassing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data are analyzed qualitatively using deductive reasoning. The findings indicate that Constitutional Court Decision No. 28/PUU-XXIII/2025 provides legal certainty regarding the obligation to pay royalties for the commercial use of music and songs through mechanisms administered by CMOs and LMKN, while eliminating differing interpretations concerning the obligation to obtain direct permission from songwriters. From the perspective of al-maslahah, the obligation to pay royalties is consistent with the principle of hifz al-mal (protection of wealth), as it aims to safeguard authors’ economic rights and promote public benefit and fairness for all parties. Accordingly, the decision strengthens legal protection for authors’ economic rights while ensuring legal certainty in the implementation of royalty payments for the public performance of music and songs.
