Overall, I support the proposed amendments as they represent a timely and necessary effort to modernize the Copyright Act in response to the rapid development of AI technologies. The proposed direction is appropriate, but I believe several aspects would benefit from further refinement rather as follows:
âĸ The amendments should clearly state whether the use of copyrighted works for AI training is permissible under specific exceptions or requires prior authorization. Clear legal guidance will reduce uncertainty for both copyright owners and AI developers.
âĸ While these principles are appropriately recognized, they should be supported by practical implementation mechanisms. For example, AI developers could be encouraged or required to maintain reasonable transparency regarding the use of copyrighted materials, while ensuring that copyright owners have appropriate opportunities for licensing or remuneration where commercial interests are involved.
âĸ International experiences such as those of Japan and Singapore provide useful references, but Malaysia should avoid adopting any single model wholesale. Instead, the framework should be tailored to Malaysia's legal, economic and creative ecosystem while maintaining an appropriate balance between innovation and protection of creators' rights.
âĸ Given the rapid pace of AI development, the legislation should allow sufficient flexibility to accommodate future technological advances. Periodic review of the relevant provisions or the issuance of implementation guidelines would help ensure that the Act remains relevant over time.
âĸ The amendments should protect the legitimate interests of copyright owners without creating unnecessary regulatory burdens that may discourage AI research, innovation or investment. Achieving this balance will be important for supporting both the creative industry and Malaysia's digital economy.

Feedback on AI in the Arts Industry
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept in the creative artsâit is already embedded in the workflows of Grammy-winning producers, major label executives, and iconic artists. From Timbalandâs AI entertainment ventures to Grimes open-sourcing her voice, and even Randy Travis regaining his voice through AI, the technology is reshaping how music is created, distributed, and experienced. While public debates often question whether AI-generated works are âreal art,â the reality is that AI is now a practical tool used across the industry. It is a future of today!
Opportunities and Benefits
1. Creative expansion: AI enables artists to explore new sounds, styles, and collaborations that may not be possible through traditional methods.
2. Accessibility: Independent musicians and smaller labels gain access to production-quality tools, lowering barriers to entry.
3. Preservation and restoration: AI can revive voices and performances, offering cultural and emotional value.
4. Efficiency: Streamlined workflows allow faster production and experimentation, supporting innovation, reducing creation and production costs.
Risks and Concerns
1. Intellectual property: Without clear regulation, AI-generated works risk infringing on existing copyrights or misusing artistsâ likenesses.
2. Authenticity and trust: Audiences may feel misled if AI contributions are hidden or uncredited.
3. Economic impact: Fully-reliance on AI could reduce opportunities for human creators, especially session musicians and lyricists.
4. Ethical use of voices and identities: Cases like voice cloning demand strict consent and transparency.
Recommendations for Regulation
1. Transparency requirements: Works created or assisted by AI should be clearly labeled, ensuring audiences and stakeholders understand the role of AI. For example: FULL CREATION OF AI or MIXED CREATION BY HUMAN & AI.
2. Consent and licensing: Use of an individualâs voice, likeness, or style must require explicit permission and fair compensation.
3. Balanced copyright frameworks: AI-generated works should also be protected, as of human creatorsâ rights. A mixed system recognizing both human authorship and AI-assisted creation may be necessary. Human composers who subscribe to or utilize AI music and artwork generators as creative tools should be afforded EQUAL LEGAL RECOGNITION as those who employ modern instruments, applications, or systems in the creation of their works.
4. Industry standards: Establish guidelines for metadata, credits, and royalty flows to ensure fair distribution when AI is involved.
5. Education and awareness: Regulators should support initiatives that help artists, audiences, and businesses understand AIâs role, risks, and opportunities.
Conclusion
AI is neither a threat nor a miracleâit is a tool. The challenge for Malaysiaâs creative ecosystem is to regulate AI in a way that protects artistry, ensures fairness, and embraces innovation. By setting clear standards for transparency, consent, and rights management, government can help the industry EVOLVE responsibly while safeguarding cultural integrity and ensuring that independent artists are not left behind.

I support the proposed amendments to the Copyright Act 1987 as they are important for keeping Malaysia's copyright framework aligned with rapid technological developments, artificial intelligence (AI), and the growing digital content ecosystem. At the same time, the amended legislation should strike a fair balance between safeguarding the rights of copyright owners and promoting education, research, innovation, and access to knowledge.
The revised Act should include clear guidance on AI-generated content, appropriate copyright exceptions for educational and research activities, effective digital enforcement mechanisms, and continuous engagement with relevant stakeholders. These measures will help ensure that the legislation is practical, balanced, and adaptable to future technological changes while fostering the sustainable growth of Malaysia's creative and digital economy.

Saya menyokong sepenuhnya cadangan pindaan Akta Hak Cipta 1987 (Akta 332) ini kerana ia amat relevan dengan cabaran semasa yang dihadapi oleh pencipta dan pemegang hak, khususnya dalam kalangan graduan seni dan reka bentuk di negara kita.
Salah satu isu kritikal yang sering diabaikan dalam wacana dasar harta intelek ialah jurang besar antara nilai komersial sesebuah karya seni dengan pulangan sebenar yang diterima oleh penciptanya. Ramai graduan bidang Seni Halus dan Reka Bentuk (Art and Design) tamat pengajian dengan kemahiran kreatif yang tinggi, namun tidak melihat kerjaya sebagai artis sebagai satu pilihan yang berdaya maju dari segi ekonomi. Fenomena ini bukan berpunca daripada kekurangan bakat, tetapi lebih kepada struktur ekosistem hak cipta yang tidak memberi jaminan pulangan jangka panjang kepada pencipta asal, terutamanya selepas karya tersebut dijual buat pertama kali.
Ini membawa kepada satu paradoks yang amat membimbangkan: ramai artis tempatan yang karyanya telah berulang kali dijual semula dengan harga yang tinggi di pasaran seni sekunder (seperti lelongan dan galeri), namun mereka sendiri kekal dalam keadaan kewangan yang tidak stabil. Nilai ekonomi yang terhasil daripada peningkatan reputasi dan permintaan terhadap karya mereka selalunya hanya dinikmati oleh pengumpul, pengedar, dan rumah lelongan â bukan oleh pencipta asal.
Justeru, saya berharap pindaan Akta Hak Cipta ini turut mempertimbangkan pengenalan mekanisme seperti Hak Jualan Semula Artis (Artist's Resale Right / droit de suite), yang telah diamalkan secara meluas di negara-negara Kesatuan Eropah dan beberapa negara Komanwel. Melalui mekanisme ini, artis dan pewaris mereka berhak menerima peratusan tertentu daripada hasil jualan semula karya seni visual mereka di pasaran sekunder. Ini bukan sahaja satu bentuk keadilan ekonomi, tetapi juga satu bentuk pengiktirafan simbolik terhadap sumbangan kreatif jangka panjang seseorang artis.
Dari perspektif dasar pendidikan dan pembangunan modal insan kreatif, pengukuhan hak ekonomi sebegini amat penting untuk membina keyakinan generasi muda bahawa kerjaya sebagai artis dan pereka adalah satu pilihan hidup yang berdaya maju, bukan sekadar minat sampingan. Ia turut selari dengan agenda negara untuk memperkasakan ekonomi kreatif dan industri kandungan sebagai penyumbang kepada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK).
Saya berharap pihak Kementerian dan MyIPO dapat mengambil kira aspek ini dalam kerangka pindaan akta, di samping memastikan keseimbangan yang wajar antara hak pencipta, kepentingan industri, dan akses awam kepada karya kreatif dalam era digital.

I support the proposed amendments to the Copyright Act 1987 as they are necessary to address technological advancements, AI, and digital content distribution. However, the revised legislation should maintain an appropriate balance between protecting copyright owners and supporting education, research, innovation, and public access to knowledge. Clear provisions regarding AI-generated content, copyright exceptions for educational purposes, digital enforcement, and stakeholder engagement will help ensure the Act remains practical, equitable, and future-ready while strengthening Malaysia's creative and digital economy

Secara amnya kami bersetuju dan menyokong usaha MyIPO untuk mengemas kini Akta Hak Cipta 1987 bagi memastikan kerangka perundangan kekal relevan, responsif dan berkesan dalam mendepani cabaran penguatkuasaan yang timbul akibat perkembangan teknologi digital. Dari perspektif penguatkuasaan, landskap pelanggaran hak cipta telah berubah secara signifikan daripada pelanggaran yang melibatkan salinan fizikal kepada pelanggaran dalam persekitaran digital, termasuk melalui platform penstriman, media sosial, aplikasi pesanan, laman sesawang, perkhidmatan pengkomputeran awan (cloud computing) dan platform e-dagang. Modus operandi ini menjadikan aktiviti pelanggaran lebih pantas, sukar dikesan, melibatkan pelbagai bidang kuasa serta memerlukan pendekatan penguatkuasaan yang lebih dinamik dan berasaskan teknologi. Sehubungan itu, pengemaskinian akta ini penting bagi memastikan peruntukan undang-undang dapat menyokong pelaksanaan tindakan penguatkuasaan yang lebih efektif terhadap tindakan pelanggaran yang berlaku. Pindaan ini dapat menyokong usaha kerajaan dalam membanteras aktiviti pelanggaran digital, termasuk penstriman haram, pengedaran kandungan tanpa kebenaran dan pelanggaran hak cipta melalui platform dalam talian yang semakin berleluasa. Secara keseluruhannya, Bahagian Penguat Kuasa KPDN berpendirian bahawa cadangan pengemaskinian Akta Hak Cipta 1987 adalah selaras dengan keperluan semasa penguatkuasaan dan wajar dilaksanakan bagi memastikan peruntukan undang-undang kekal relevan, mampu menangani evolusi bentuk pelanggaran hak cipta serta meningkatkan keberkesanan tindakan penguatkuasaan dalam era digital.

Secara amnya, kami mengalu-alukan usaha MyIPO untuk mengkaji semula Akta Hak Cipta selaras dengan perkembangan teknologi digital, ekonomi kreatif dan amalan terbaik di peringkat antarabangsa. Pindaan yang dicadangkan diharap dapat mewujudkan keseimbangan antara perlindungan hak pemilik hak cipta, kepentingan pengguna serta keperluan inovasi dan pembangunan ekonomi digital. Bagi pelaksanaan pindaan, adalah dicadangkan supaya Peruntukan baharu dirangka dengan jelas bagi mengelakkan tafsiran yang berbeza serta memudahkan pelaksanaan dan penguatkuasaan, Sebarang hak, kewajipan dan mekanisme pelaksanaan adalah bersifat praktikal serta tidak membebankan pihak berkepentingan, Pindaan mengambil kira perkembangan teknologi baharu, termasuk kecerdasan buatan (AI), tanpa menjejaskan hak sah pemilik hak cipta, Sesi libat urus secara berterusan bersama pihak industri, pengamal undang-undang, institusi pendidikan dan agensi kerajaan diteruskan sebelum pindaan dimuktamadkan.
