Indonesia demands Netflix pay US$4.3m music royalties or face shutdown

Indonesia's National Collective Management Organisation (LMKN) is demanding Netflix pay an estimated 75 billion rupiah (US$4.3 million) in music royalties accrued since its 2016 market entry, threatening a shutdown if unpaid. The claim is sourced from the Jakarta Globe via SCMP; Netflix's response and legal standing are unconfirmed. This marks a regulatory enforcement action against a major global streaming platform, potentially setting a precedent for digital service taxation in Southeast Asia.
