        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Cyber Media Association (AMSI), the Indonesian Video\nStreaming Association (AVISI), and the Indonesian Film Board (BPI) have\nagreed to prevent content or matters that direct towards illegal content\nservices. The agreement is outlined in a memorandum of understanding\nsigned today. AMSI Chairman Wahyu Dhyatmika stated that the association\nhe leads has significant influence over public opinion and internet\ntraffic. \u201cThe media must not become a bridge that delivers readers to\npiracy sites,\u201d he said in a written statement on Wednesday, 8 July 2026.\nAMSI is encouraging responsible publication practices by minimising all\nforms of reporting and the dissemination of links that direct towards\nillegal content services. AMSI member media outlets are committed to not\nincluding brand names, domains, or explicit links from platforms that\nhave been declared illegal by the Ministry of Communication and Digital,\nthe Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), or BPI. BPI and\nAVISI will provide data, research, and information that media can use to\ncompile data-driven reports on digital content consumption trends, the\nimpact of piracy, and the losses incurred by the creative industry. BPI\nChairman Fauzan Zidni said digital piracy not only harms intellectual\nproperty rights holders but also violates the moral and economic rights\nof creators. This cooperation aligns with the government\u2019s national\nagenda to support the growth of the national digital creative economy\necosystem. \u201cWe want to shift the focus from mere \u2018prohibition\u2019 to\ntangible support for national economic resilience,\u201d Fauzan stated. AVISI\nChairman Hermawan Sutanto said the fight against illegal content\nrequires cross-sector collaboration. The concern is reflected in\nresearch from Pelita Harapan University in 2025, which revealed that the\nestimated number of illegal viewers that year was 50.2 million, with a\nratio of 1 legal viewer to 2 illegal viewers. \u201cThis figure is not just a\nstatistic, but an alarm about how crucial the role of public education\nis,\u201d Hermawan said. The three parties agreed to form a consultative and\nnon-punitive Content Ethics Review Forum. BPI and AVISI may submit\nwritten notifications to AMSI members if indications of violations of\nthe anti-piracy guidelines are found, which will then be followed up\nthrough the organisation\u2019s internal mechanisms and the AMSI Ethics\nCouncil.<\/p>",
