LEGAL PROTECTION FOR THE COPYRIGHT OF JACKA KAJIMA'S ILLUSTRATION ARTWORK

This study examines the legal protection of illustration artworks owned by Jacka Kajima that were misused by students of Universitas Negeri Semarang from the perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah. This issue arises due to violations of the creator’s moral and economic rights, reflecting a lack of legal awareness and academic ethics in respecting intellectual works. Therefore, this research discusses the forms of legal protection for the misuse of Jacka Kajima’s illustration artworks and analyzes such protection within the framework of Maqasid al-Shariah. This research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach through the study of legislation, academic literature, and principles of Islamic law. Data were obtained through library research, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that the misuse of illustration artworks constitutes a violation of the creator’s moral and economic rights as regulated in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. Legal protection is carried out preventively through copyright registration at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), copyright education, and the implementation of anti-plagiarism policies. Curative measures include administrative sanctions, compensation, and dispute resolution through amicable settlement (ishlah). From the perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah, such protection reflects the values of hifz al-‘aql (protection of intellect) and hifz al-mal (protection of property) as efforts to safeguard intellectual output and the creator’s economic rights. Thus, the integration of positive law and sharia values can create copyright protection that is not only juridical but also ethical, educational, and oriented toward social welfare
