Method note : Figures are derived from a combination of publicly shared torrent swarm statistics, traffic estimations from anti‑piracy firm Irdeto Indonesia , and extrapolation based on average download speeds. | Revenue Stream | Legal Income | Adjusted Income (after accounting for estimated piracy) | |----------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | Box‑office | IDR 40 billion | — (piracy negligible during theatrical window) | | VOD (Nonton.id) | IDR 12 billion | ↓ 12 % (≈ 1.4 billion) | | TV licensing | IDR 9 billion | — | | Physical media | IDR 2 billion | ↓ 25 % (≈ 0.5 billion) | | Total | IDR 63 billion | ≈ IDR 59.1 billion | | Revenue loss | – | ≈ IDR 3.9 billion (≈ 6 % of total). |
These works collectively suggest that piracy is not merely a legal issue but also a product of market gaps and cultural perception. Rumah Kentang is a 92‑minute comedy‑horror produced by PT.

1.4 A mixed‑methods approach was adopted: (i) quantitative analysis of traffic data harvested from publicly available torrent trackers and “anti‑piracy” monitoring tools; (ii) semi‑structured interviews with 30 Indonesian viewers who admitted to downloading the film; and (iii) a legal review of the 2014 Undang‑Undang Hak Cipta (Copyright Act) and subsequent amendments. 2. Literature Review | Author (Year) | Focus | Key Findings | |---------------|-------|--------------| | Sukma & Wijaya (2019) | Piracy in Southeast Asian markets | Piracy rates correlate with low broadband affordability and limited legal streaming options. | | Lee & Kim (2021) | “Digital Native” piracy attitudes | Younger audiences view file‑sharing as a normative practice rather than a criminal act. | | Kusuma (2022) | Economic impact of film piracy in Indonesia | Estimated revenue loss of IDR 1.2 trillion annually for the local industry. | | Miller (2023) | Effectiveness of takedown notices | Notice‑and‑takedown reduces visibility for 30 % of infringing links but has limited deterrence. | | Gomez & Patel (2024) | Role of “freemium” models in curbing piracy | Tiered pricing and ad‑supported free tiers can lower piracy incidence by up to 45 %. |
