Abstract

Over the past few decades, sophistication in intellectual property rights (IPR) violations has increasingly exceeded the limit. The offenders are trying to outsmart the development of a legitimate business model to facilitate online trade. The ease with which potential customers search for Commercial Sex Workers (CSW) using the MiChat application has been one of the misused social media, which violated the trust and safety feelings of online citizens. The authorities are eradicating the miChat Application as a means of online prostitution in Indonesia. This study deconstructs the law enforcement decision and looks at the committed violation from the IPR’s perspective. This study portrays IPR violations that have been blatantly committed in Bogor City. Even this online prostitution business already has certain patterns and communication networks to facilitate CSW to get income. The circular pattern happens during negotiations before the meeting stage. The wheel pattern exists in the group of prostitutes who use help from pimps. The self-employed and the transvestite group use all channels in the communication network. This Application is designed to benefit from IPR violations because, from the management of MiChat, there is no effort to stop this online prostitution practice. IPR violation activities carried out by MiChat are within the control of its managers so that law enforcement can be applied through criminal complaints or other law enforcement mechanisms.
