JAKARTA - The polemic between Ipay and Ian Kasela about the copyright of the Cinderella song popularized by Radja has received the attention of many parties, one of which is Piyu.

As the General Chair of the All-Indonesian Composter Association (AKSI), Piyu highlighted the violations of moral rights and economic rights against songwriters in Indonesia.

"The moral rights are that they have names in their works, so many have been removed. For example, yesterday it was crowded, Radja used the song Cinderella, which turned out to be the creator, but his name was removed," Piyu said, quoted from TVOne on Tuesday, September 5.

The frontman for the band Padi Reborn also highlighted the statement by Ian Kasela and his attorney who said there was a transfer of copyright.

Guided to the Copyright Law, Piyu did not confirm what Radja had done to Ipay.

"But he (Kasela's sister) didn't admit it, he still asked that he had a transfer of rights letter. Actually, that's not justified either, if you return to referring to the Copyright Law," said Piyu.

"It cannot be removed by the name of the creator or cannot be transferred," he continued.

For Piyu, Ipay still has economic rights to the song Cinderella, even though there has been a transfer of copyright.

"Still, even though it might be diverted, he (Ipay) still has to get royalties," he said.

Previously, Sunan Kalijaga as Ian Kasela's attorney stated that there was a transfer of rights from Ipay to Ian Kasela in 2010.

"We have evidence that the song Cinderela has switched to Ian. What is the basis? The basis is that there is an agreement letter," said Sunan Kalijaga to the media crew at Polda Metro Jaya last week.

"That in 2010 there was clearly a release of the right between the creator and Ian," he concluded.
