Start where the copy is hosted. In both countries the copyright owner or an authorised agent reports each pirated copy to the platform: YouTube, Telegram and Google Search take copyright notices from owners and their agents, and Vietnam's copyright decree requires a platform that stores users' content to take a copy down temporarily within 72 hours of a complete notice if it wants to keep its exemption from liability.1,2,3,4 To have a pirate site blocked in Indonesia, report it to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) at the Ministry of Law: a verification team checks a registered report within 3 working days and, if it finds an infringement, sends a recommendation to close the site or cut access to the communications ministry, Komdigi, or to the platform itself.5,6,7 In Vietnam, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism manages copyright and requires platforms to comply with intellectual property law; a platform that stores users' content must remove infringing content within 24 hours of a competent authority's written request, and Decree 147/2024 requires telecoms companies and internet providers to block unlawful online content within 24 hours of a request from the authorities it names.4,8,9,10 Each platform and authority decides on each report, and court action goes through independent counsel.
Key takeaways
- Platform notices come first. File as the copyright owner or an authorised agent, one link per copy. YouTube and Vietnam's decree both pass details of your notice to the uploader.1,4
- Indonesia blocks pirate sites on DJKI's recommendation. Reports go to DJKI in writing, in Indonesian, online or at its counter, and a December 2025 regulation names holders of rights registered or recorded with DJKI, and licensees whose licence is recorded there, as the people who can report.5,6 Indonesia's public broadcaster reported in May 2026 that DJKI had closed 1,004 copyright-infringing sites between 1 January 2025 and 11 May 2026.11
- Komdigi can order a platform to take content down. Under Ministerial Regulation 5/2020, a platform must act within 24 hours of receiving a takedown order, and Komdigi can have a platform that doesn't comply blocked.12
- Vietnam's rules changed in 2026. A penalties decree that fines platforms for missing the takedown steps took effect on 15 February, the amended Intellectual Property Law on 1 April and the copyright decree's 2026 amendments on 8 and 9 April. A July decree reorganised the culture ministry, which now lists a Department of Cultural Industries and Copyright.4,8,9,13
- Vietnamese courts can now order sites and apps disabled. Since 1 April 2026, courts can order infringing content, accounts, websites, apps or internet addresses removed, hidden or disabled and, as an urgent measure, hidden or temporarily disabled; counsel would make the application.13
Before you report: what to collect
- A link to each copy. Vietnam's decree asks for the location or link of each infringing item and a description of it; Indonesia's rules ask for the site's address or the name of the portal, site, app or link, and Komdigi's takedown rules for a screenshot and the specific URL.4,5,6,12
- Proof that you hold the rights. Copyright doesn't depend on registration in either country, but registration helps: in Vietnam a registered holder need not prove ownership in a dispute unless there is evidence to the contrary, and DJKI recommends recording works as proof of ownership.13,14 Without a Vietnamese certificate, the decree accepts the work bearing the holder's name plus documents showing its creation, publication or distribution; an assignee or licensee also shows the contracts, as originals or notarised, certified or consular-legalised copies.4
- A record with DJKI, for Indonesia. The 2025 regulation names holders of rights registered or recorded with DJKI, and licensees whose licence is recorded there, as reporters, and asks for proof of the right or of the recorded licence.5 DJKI charges Rp200,000 to record a work other than a song or music, and Rp200,000 to record a licence agreement; its online recording asks for an Indonesian identity card and taxpayer number, so a foreign company should ask counsel how to file.15,16
- Authority for an agent. Vietnam's decree asks for a power of attorney when an authorised party files, and a notarised or certified one for a request to an enforcement authority; Indonesia's joint regulation asks for a power of attorney when an agent reports.4,6
- Company details and a signed undertaking. A notice under Vietnam's decree gives a company's name, address, email, telephone and business registration number, and a digitally signed undertaking to bear all legal responsibility for the request, including full compensation for any damage it causes.4
- Dated evidence. Vietnam's decree accepts a lawful copy of the work, photos and recordings of the infringing item, a comparison of the two, and records such as a bailiff's record (vi bằng), listed and signed by the requester.4 Capture each page before you file.
- Indonesian versions. Reports to DJKI under the joint regulation are made in writing in Indonesian.6 Ask counsel which Vietnamese documents need certified translations.
- A tracking sheet recording each link, route, reference number, deadline and outcome, including re-uploads and new domains.
Indonesia: platform notices, DJKI and Komdigi
Report to the platform
Under Ministerial Regulation 5/2020, a private electronic system operator must make sure its service neither carries nor helps spread prohibited information, which includes information that breaks the law. A platform hosting users' content must provide a public reporting facility, respond to reports and tell the uploader about them.12 Start with each platform's own copyright route (see the platforms used in both countries).
Ask DJKI to recommend closing the site
Indonesia's Copyright Law lets anyone who knows of an infringement through an electronic system for commercial use report it to the Minister of Law, who verifies it and, if there is sufficient evidence and the complainant asks, recommends that the communications minister block part or all of the infringing content or make the service inaccessible.7
- Who can report. The 2015 joint regulation names creators, copyright holders, owners of related rights, licensees, collective management organisations, and associations or other parties holding a power of attorney.6 The Ministry of Law's 2025 regulation names holders of rights registered or recorded with DJKI and licensees whose licence is recorded there, who may report through an attorney.5 Ask counsel which rules DJKI will apply to your report.
- Where. Reports go to the Minister of Law through DJKI, online through the form on DJKI's website or on paper at its service counter.5,6 DJKI's website links its complaints site, pengaduan.dgip.go.id, and RRI reported in May 2026 that requests for a site-closure recommendation can be sent through it.11,17
- The checks. DJKI checks the report and registers it. An incomplete report comes back, and you have 14 working days to complete it or it is treated as withdrawn. A verification team from the Ministry of Law, the communications ministry and intellectual property associations verifies a registered report within 3 working days, and may ask the platform or the reported party for information.5
- The recommendation. If the team finds an infringement, it recommends closing part or all of the site or cutting access, which the regulation defines as blocking access, closing accounts or deleting content. The recommendation goes, with reasons, to the communications minister or to the platform within 24 hours of being signed ("1x24 jam"), and DJKI tells you the result. For live streams, verification and the recommendation take no more than 24 hours.5
- The block. Under the joint regulation, the communications minister must close the content within 24 hours of a recommendation marked urgent; other closures can take up to 5x24 hours (five days). Closures are announced on the ministry's website. If a whole site is blocked, the Minister of Law must ask a court for a ruling within 14 working days.6,7
- Reopening. The site's operator or a user can apply to DJKI to reopen a closed site if the rights holder cooperates or consents, or after mediation with the reporter; the joint regulation also lists no infringement or a court ruling as grounds, and allows objections to the State Administrative Court.5,6
Komdigi's takedown orders
Komdigi is the Ministry of Communication and Digital, governed by Presidential Regulation 174 of 2024.18 Under Ministerial Regulation 5/2020, a member of the public sends a takedown request to the ministry responsible for the subject, which asks Komdigi to act; Komdigi then orders the platform, by email or another electronic system, to take the content down, and the platform must do so within 24 hours of receiving the order. If it doesn't, Komdigi can block the platform or order internet providers to block it, after considering the platform's reasons. The 4-hour track is for terrorism, child pornography and content that unsettles the public and disturbs public order; copyright isn't on that list.12 For copyright, the Copyright Law sends reports to the Minister of Law.7
Vietnam: notices, the culture ministry and site blocking
Who does what after the 2025 and 2026 changes
In February 2025 the National Assembly approved a new government structure in which the Ministry of Information and Communications was merged with the Ministry of Science and Technology, and oversight of the media and publishing moved to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.19 Decree 298/2026, in force since 28 July 2026, sets that ministry's remit, which includes electronic information and copyright, and gives it the task of requiring intermediary service providers to comply with intellectual property law. Its new structure lists a Department of Cultural Industries and Copyright and a Department of Electronic Information and Digital Transformation; its transitional article kept the Copyright Office of Vietnam and the Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information working until the minister set out the new departments' functions.8 By 22 October 2026, the ministry's documents and the Copyright Office's website, cov.gov.vn, were using the new departments' names.20,21 Decree 147/2024, on internet services, names the information ministry and its Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information, so confirm with counsel which department takes a request today.10
Notices to platforms under the copyright decree
Decree 17/2023, as amended in 2026, applies to Vietnamese and foreign intermediary service providers, including social networks, e-commerce platforms, search services and other intermediary platforms.4
- Where. A platform that stores users' content must have a tool for takedown requests, such as a website, an email address or a portal, and every intermediary must publish a copyright contact point with at least an email address and a telephone number.4
- 72 hours, then 10 working days. To keep its exemption from liability, the platform temporarily takes down or blocks the content within 72 hours of a request sent through its takedown tool with the required documents, and tells you and the uploader, with the documents you supplied. If no objection with evidence arrives within 10 working days, the platform removes the content; if one does, it restores the content within 72 hours and forwards the objection to you.4
- After an objection. The content stays restored unless one side sues or asks a competent authority to act and the court or authority accepts the case, in which case the platform follows its decision.4
- Live broadcasts. If you give the platform your documents at least 24 hours before a live broadcast, then to keep its exemption it must temporarily take down or block the content "ngay lập tức" ("immediately") when your removal request arrives, and follow the same steps; Decree 341/2025 fines a platform that doesn't.4,9
- Why platforms act. A platform that doesn't meet these conditions shares liability for the damage its users' infringement causes, though the law doesn't require a platform to monitor its service or look for infringements itself to keep the exemption.4,13 Since 15 February 2026, a platform that doesn't take content down temporarily within 72 hours of a complete notice can be fined VND 70 million to 100 million.9
Asking the authorities to act
Rights holders can ask a competent authority to deal with an infringement, and can authorise someone else to do so for them.13 A formal request goes to an authority competent to deal with infringements under the Intellectual Property Law; it names the parties, the right and the infringement, including the website address and links, and comes with evidence and, if a representative files, a notarised or certified power of attorney. An authority that isn't competent forwards the request or tells you where to file within 10 days, and you can be given up to 30 days to supply missing evidence.4 Decree 341/2025 lets rights holders use this procedure to ask for administrative penalties, and covers foreign organisations whose infringement online reaches users in Vietnam.9
To keep its exemption, a platform that stores users' content must remove or block infringing content within 24 hours of a written request from such an authority or from the ministry's copyright department, and report back within 24 hours of acting.4 Missing that deadline can cost a platform a fine of VND 100 million to 150 million.9 In June 2026 the ministry said it was stepping up how it receives and handles reports about copyright, and passes cases beyond its powers to the police; it has also reported handling Facebook and TikTok links that appeared to infringe a national broadcaster's programmes.22,23
Blocking pirate sites
Decree 147/2024 requires telecoms companies and internet providers to block access to unlawful online content, services and apps within 24 hours of a request from the information ministry's Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information or the Ministry of Public Security's cybersecurity department. Foreign services that provide information across the border must block or remove unlawful content within 24 hours of a written or electronic request from those ministries or another authority competent under the relevant law.10 The decree tells agencies, organisations and individuals in Vietnam that find unlawful information on a foreign website, social network or app to ask the provider to deal with it and to notify the information authority in writing, and to sue in a Vietnamese court if it affects their lawful rights. Its 48-hour deadline for users' complaints covers content that breaches the Cybersecurity Law; complaints about users' own rights follow consumer protection and intellectual property law.10
Blocking is in use: after the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch No. 38 of 5 May 2026 on intellectual property enforcement, the authorities reported at a review on 2 June 2026 that they had blocked access to 1,073 infringing websites, including 612 illegal TV sites, 263 pirate film sites and 177 pirated story sites; the rest sold goods infringing industrial property rights.22 Ask counsel which route fits your site and evidence.
Platforms used in both countries
- YouTube. Copyright owners or an authorised representative, such as an attorney, file a removal request in YouTube Studio or by email to copyright@youtube.com, fax or post; YouTube shares certain information with the uploader, and a request can be scheduled to take effect in 7 days.1 Our OTT and audio guide explains strikes, Prevent Copies and counter notifications.
- Facebook and Instagram. Facebook's Help Center tells people who think their copyrighted work is being used without permission to report it through its form.24 The OTT and audio guide covers Meta's process for both apps.
- TikTok. TikTok's own pages didn't load from our network, so we don't describe its form here. Vietnam's culture ministry has reported handling TikTok links that appeared to infringe a broadcaster's programmes.23
- Telegram. Telegram doesn't process requests about private groups and chats; for public channels, bots, sticker sets and other public content, the copyright owner or an authorised agent writes to dmca@telegram.org.2 See our Telegram guide.
- Google Search. Copyright owners and organisations that represent them ask Google to remove search results through its web form, which Google says works for copyright owners from countries around the world; Google shares qualifying requests with the Lumen database.3 The OTT and audio guide explains Google's and Bing's forms.
Where to report pirated content in Indonesia and Vietnam (checked 22 October 2026):
| Where the copy is | Route | Who can file | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube | YouTube Studio removal request; copyright@ |
The copyright owner or an authorised representative | Details go to the uploader; optional 7-day schedule |
| Facebook, Instagram | Meta's copyright reporting form | See our OTT and audio guide | |
| TikTok | Not opened from our network | Vietnam's ministry has handled TikTok links | |
| Telegram (public content) | dmca@ |
The copyright owner or an authorised agent | Private groups and chats aren't processed |
| Google Search | Google's copyright removal web form | Copyright owners and organisations representing them | Qualifying requests go to Lumen |
| Platform that stores users' content, Vietnam | The platform's tool for takedown requests (Decree 17/2023) | The rights holder or an authorised party | Temporary removal within 72 hours; objections within 10 working days |
| Pirate site, Indonesia | DJKI report: online form or service counter | Holders of rights registered or recorded with DJKI, and recorded licensees (2025 regulation) | Verified within 3 working days; recommendation to Komdigi or the platform |
| Pirate site or platform, Vietnam | Request to a competent authority or the culture ministry's copyright department | The rights holder or an authorised party | Platforms: 24 hours after an authority's written request; ISPs: 24 hours after a request from the authorities Decree 147/2024 names |
What a notice needs
Vietnam's decree lists what a notice to a platform must include, and Indonesia's rules list what a report to DJKI must include.4,5,6 A notice that covers both gives:
- Who you are: name, address, email and telephone, and a company's business registration number (Vietnam) or a copy of your identity document (Indonesia).
- Your rights: a registration certificate or other proof of ownership, or a recorded licence, with any contracts that pass the rights to you.
- Each infringing item: its link or address and a description of the content.
- The infringement: its type, with evidence such as captures and a comparison with your work.
- Your authority: a power of attorney if an agent files.
- An undertaking: in Vietnam, a digitally signed commitment to bear all legal responsibility for the request, including compensating anyone harmed.
In Vietnamese, the decree calls the notice a yêu cầu gỡ bỏ hoặc ngăn chặn việc truy nhập ("request to remove or block access"); in Indonesian, a report to DJKI is a laporan pelanggaran hak cipta ("copyright infringement report").4,6
Be accurate. Vietnam's decree makes anyone who supplies false documents or evidence legally responsible, its Intellectual Property Law lets anyone harmed by an abuse of enforcement procedures claim damages, including reasonable lawyers' fees, and Decree 341/2025 fines abuse of the takedown procedure, or false evidence given to a platform, VND 70 million to 100 million for an individual and twice that for an organisation.4,9,13 YouTube warns that misusing its process can lead to account termination or other legal consequences.1 Leave out licensed copies and your own promotional clips.
The law, through independent counsel
This summarises the laws and regulations as we read them on 22 October 2026 in the sources listed below; Indonesia's Copyright Law is quoted from WIPO's English translation. It isn't advice: court and enforcement steps in Indonesia and Vietnam are for independent counsel there.
Indonesia
- Civil claims. Of the courts, only the Commercial Court hears copyright disputes; the parties can also use alternative dispute resolution or arbitration. Rights holders can claim compensation and ask the court for an interim injunction to seize infringing copies or stop their publication, distribution or communication. The court must decide within 90 working days of filing, a period the Supreme Court's chief justice can extend by 30 days, and its decision can be appealed only to the Supreme Court.7
- Criminal cases start only on a complaint. Commercial infringement by piracy carries up to 10 years' imprisonment and/or a fine of up to Rp4 billion. For infringements other than piracy, the parties must first try mediation before a criminal charge where all of them are known or in Indonesia.7 DJKI enforces the law through its civil-servant investigators and handles rights holders' complaints; its director general said in October 2026 that piracy is a complaint-based offence and that, when a complaint is made, DJKI has a duty to take legal action.25
- The law may change. The House of Representatives' legislation body approved a bill amending the 2014 Copyright Law in March 2026, as the House's own initiative; check the text in force with counsel.26
Vietnam
- Civil claims. Courts can order an infringer to stop, apologise and pay damages and, since 1 April 2026, to remove, hide or disable access to infringing information, content, accounts, websites, apps or internet addresses.13
- Urgent measures. When filing a claim, or afterwards, a rights holder can ask the court for provisional measures where there is a risk of irreparable damage, or of goods or evidence being dispersed or destroyed; since 1 April 2026 these include hiding or temporarily disabling access to such content, sites or apps, and the court decides before hearing the other side. The applicant compensates the other side if there was no infringement, and lodges security: a sum of 20% of the value of the goods concerned or, if that value can't be determined, at least VND 20 million, or a guarantee from a bank or other credit institution.13
- Administrative penalties. Under Decree 341/2025, in force since 15 February 2026, fines for copyright violations reach VND 250 million for an individual and VND 500 million for an organisation. The officials who can impose them include People's Committee chairs, the heads of the culture ministry's copyright inspection teams, the directors of provincial culture departments and the police.9
- Criminal cases. Infringement that meets the elements of a crime is prosecuted; after the May 2026 dispatch, the authorities started 7 criminal cases under Article 225 of the Penal Code for infringing copyright or related rights.13,22
- Foreign rights holders. Vietnam protects works of foreign organisations and individuals that are protected under the copyright treaties it has joined.13
- The law may change. At a review of the copyright rules on 15 October 2026, the culture ministry said the results will inform a planned standalone Copyright Law; check the text in force with counsel.27
When reports aren't enough
The site comes back under a new domain. Report each new domain with the same evidence. DJKI's director general has said monitoring needs strengthening, including of sites that return after being blocked.25 In Vietnam, ask counsel about a court order that also reaches internet addresses.13
A platform doesn't act on your notice. In Indonesia, ask counsel about a report to DJKI, which can send its recommendation to Komdigi or to the platform.5 In Vietnam, a platform that misses the decree's steps shares liability for its users' infringement and can be fined, and a competent authority's written request carries a 24-hour deadline.4,9
The uploader objects. In Vietnam, a platform restores the content within 72 hours of an objection with evidence, and keeps it up unless you, or the uploader, go to court or to a competent authority and the case is accepted: decide with counsel before that happens.4 YouTube lets uploaders send counter notifications; see our OTT and audio guide.1
You need to know who runs the site. In Vietnam, platforms must give user information to a competent state agency that asks in writing to verify and deal with a copyright violation; in Indonesia, a platform hosting users' content can be released from liability only if, among other conditions, it gives the uploader's subscriber information for supervision or law enforcement. Either way, the route runs through the authorities and counsel.4,12
Doing this at scale
For one film or season, this is manageable by hand. For an OTT service, a sports rights holder, a music label, a publisher, an ed-tech company or a game publisher whose titles circulate in Indonesia and Vietnam, it becomes continuous work.
- One notice per work and platform, listing every link, in the platform's own format.
- Keep the paperwork ready: DJKI records for Indonesia, and Vietnamese proof of rights and powers of attorney, for each title.4,5
- Send live-event documents early: Vietnam's faster track for live broadcasts needs them at least 24 hours before the broadcast.4
- Close the loop. Re-check each link, record the outcome, and search again under new titles, channels and domains.
Bytescare runs this cycle for rights holders: monitoring the platforms, sites and search results in your plan for pirated copies of your titles on your plan's scan cycle, and filing the notices you approve with each platform, host or search engine. Each platform decides on removal; reports to DJKI or Vietnam's authorities and court action go through independent counsel if you choose. Our anti-piracy service page explains how we work. This guide is general information, not legal advice. Bytescare is not a law firm; for a specific dispute, consult independent counsel.
FAQs
Can a foreign company use these routes?
Nothing in the rules we read limits notices to local rights holders: Vietnam protects foreign works under the copyright treaties it has joined, and its copyright decree asks an organisation filing a notice for its business registration number, establishment decision or licence, without limiting it to Vietnamese companies. Indonesia's Copyright Law lets anyone who knows of an infringement through an electronic system for commercial use report it to the Minister of Law, but the 2025 regulation names holders of rights registered or recorded with DJKI, and licensees whose licence is recorded there, as reporters, and reports are made in Indonesian. DJKI's online recording asks for an Indonesian identity card and taxpayer number, so ask counsel how a foreign company files.
Do I need to register my copyright in Indonesia or Vietnam?
Not to own it. But in Vietnam a registration certificate means you need not prove ownership in a dispute unless there is evidence to the contrary, and in Indonesia the 2025 regulation names holders of rights registered or recorded with DJKI, and recorded licensees, as the people who can report. DJKI charges Rp200,000 to record a work other than a song or music.
How quickly must a platform act in Vietnam?
To keep its exemption from liability, a platform that stores users' content takes it down temporarily within 72 hours of a complete notice from the rights holder, and removes it within 24 hours of a written request from a competent authority; since February 2026 missing either step can be fined. Each platform still decides on each notice, and an objection can bring the content back.
Who blocks pirate sites in Indonesia?
Komdigi, the communications ministry, on a recommendation from the Ministry of Law, which verifies the report through DJKI; the recommendation can also go to the platform. When a whole site is blocked, the Minister of Law must ask a court for a ruling within 14 working days.
Which Vietnamese agency handles requests now that the information ministry is gone?
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism manages copyright and electronic information. Its structure now lists a Department of Cultural Industries and Copyright and a Department of Electronic Information and Digital Transformation, and the earlier departments kept working during the transition. Decree 147/2024 still names the former ministry, so confirm the addressee with counsel.
Can a court order a pirate site blocked?
In Vietnam, since 1 April 2026, courts can order infringing websites, apps, accounts or internet addresses removed, hidden or disabled and, as an urgent measure for which the applicant lodges security, hidden or temporarily disabled. In Indonesia, the Commercial Court hears copyright claims and can grant interim injunctions, and site blocking runs through DJKI and Komdigi. Both are for independent counsel.

This guide is general information, not legal advice. Bytescare is not a law firm; for a specific dispute, consult independent counsel licensed in Indonesia or Vietnam. Platform procedures and both countries' rules change; we last checked every source on 22 October 2026, and the translations from Indonesian and Vietnamese are ours.
How this was made: researched and drafted with Claude on 22 October 2026 from the sources listed above, each opened that day: the laws and regulations from the two governments' portals and legal databases, scanned originals included (Indonesia's Copyright Law from WIPO's English translation), and the platforms' pages as published, without signing in or submitting anything. TikTok's pages could not be opened from our network. Claude then reviewed the draft as a fact-checker, tracing each statement to its source, and as a cautious intellectual property lawyer would, and a second Claude pass re-read the sources and checked every claim the same day (24 findings, 22 corrections applied). Edited by the Bytescare Team. Corrections since publication: none.
