Abstract
This paper explains the legal protection of copyright in YouTube videos reuploaded to Instagram under the 2014 Copyright Law (UUHC). The research adopts a normative jurisprudence method, examining primary and secondary legal sources. The findings indicate that reuploading others' YouTube videos on Instagram, even with source attribution, violates the economic rights of the original creators. Article 5 and Article 9 of the UUHC regulate this issue, emphasizing the financial losses suffered by creators when users view the reposted video on Instagram instead of the original YouTube source. This diminishes the potential revenue for YouTube creators, as their viewer count decreases. Violations of the creators' economic rights may lead to sanctions under Article 113 of the Copyright Law. Creators can take two forms of action: preventive measures and legal deterrence to protect their rights and prevent further violations.
