Abstract
The film industry in Indonesia began in 1950 marked by the production of the first film in Indonesia titled ‘Darah & Doa’ on March 30, and it is now celebrated as National Film Day. In the 1950s and 1960s cinemas began to appear in big cities like Jakarta, and the Indonesian cinema business community was formed, called the Indonesian Cinema Association (GABSI). Currently, the film market in Indonesia is ranked 16th in the world with a market value of US $345 million. The development of internet technologies has changed the ways people enjoy entertainment media, including listening to music and watching movies or television programs. Since 2016, Over-The-Top (OTT) video services (referred to as legal movie viewing platforms), began to enter Indonesia. This has had a positive impact on the community with the emergence of watching habits and accessing legal content. Various telecommunication service providers already have internet speeds that are conducive, but the limited quota problem makes the internet speed advantage less useful. Legal film content services such as Netflix, VIU, HOOQ, and others have serious challenges, knowing that many illegal services offer pirated content with the same facilities.
