[Negara Indonesia yang terdiri dari beragam suku dan budaya, haruslah
dijaga dan dilindungi keberadaanya. Saat ini perlindungan akan warisan budaya
menjadi isu yang mendesak bagi penduduk Indonesia karena sering dengan
perkembagan zaman dan teknologi, ancaman akan eksploitasi terhadap produk
ekspresi budaya tradisional sangat mungkin terjadi. Tapi di sisi lain penggunaan
atau exploitasi ekspresi budaya tradisional juga penting dilakukan agar nialinya
tetap terkandung dimasyarakat. Hal tersebut lah yang mendorong penulis untuk
membahas penggunaan ekspresi budaya tradisional secara bebas.
Teater I La Galigo adalah contoh nyata dimana exploitasi terhadap
ekspresi kebudayaan tradisional berjalan lurus dengan pelestariannya. Dan
seabgai sebuah teater yang mengadopsi alur cerita dari warisan budaya, maka
penting untuk menuntukan originalitasnya agar karya tersebut dapat diberikan
perlindungan dalam ruang lingkup hak cipta. Di sisi lain penting juga menentukan
bahwa I La Galigo sebagai modifikasi expresi budaya tradisional tidak melanggar
norma-norma yang ada pada masyarakat bugis. Sudut pandang tentang
pelanggaran tersebut haruslah sesuai dengan hokum hak cipta dan sesuai dengan
rancangan undang-undang tentang pengetahuan tradisional dan ekspresi budaya
tradisional yang saat ini menunggu untuk disahkan. Pada akhirnya modifikasi atau
penggunaan ekspresi budaya tradisional haurslah bermafaat dan dapat
mensejahterakan masyarakat aslinya.;The Republic of Indonesia, which consists of diverse ethnic and cultural,
the existence must be maintained and protected. Currently, the cultural heritage
protection was become an urgent issue for the people of Indonesia as often with
the times and technological developments, the threat of exploitation of the
products of traditional cultural expression is very possible to happen. But on the
other hand the use or exploitation of traditional cultural expressions are also
important so that its value remains contained in the community. That is what
prompted the authors to discuss the use of traditional cultural expressions freely.
Theater I La Galigo is a real example where the exploitation of the
traditional cultural expression goes straight to its preservation. And as a theater
that adopts the storyline of the cultural heritage, it is important to determine the
originality so the work can be granted protection within the scope of copyright.
On the other hand it is also important to determine that I La Galigo as a
modification of traditional cultural expression does not violate the norms that
exist in Bugis society. Viewpoints on these violations must be in accordance with
copyright laws and corresponding with the draft law on traditional knowledge and
traditional cultural expressions that are currently waiting to be approved. In the
