The purpose of this paper is to elaborate the implementation of Article 38 of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright (Indonesia Copyright Law) related to traditional Balinese dance. This writing uses empirical legal research method. Traditional dance art as part of the traditional cultural expression is protected under Article 38 of Indonesia Copyright Law. In its implementation in Bangli regency, this provision has not been implemented effectively.
