JAKARTA - Ismail Marzuki's son, Rachmi Aziah, is the heir to the copyright holder for the song Halo Halo Bandung.

He wants moral rights for his father as a songwriter not to be violated again.

Although the song Hello Kuala Lumpur has been removed from the YouTube channel Lagu Kanak TV as initial content, Ari Juliano Gema as the attorney said that his party will continue to monitor various digital platforms so that similar content no longer appears.

"Currently we are still monitoring the distribution of the song on digital platforms, and continue to coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur for further information," said Ari Juliano Gema when contacted by the media crew last week.

Human Rights and legal counsel experts ensure that they will continue to strive so that the plagiarism cases that have occurred are resolved. They will continue to pursue their rights without a specified time.

They claim Hello Kuala Lumpur's content on the YouTube channel The Song Kanak TV is a form of modified work without permission from the original creator.

However, the heirs are still unable to prove whether the content has the potential to be used for commercial purposes.

"So far, the focus is on moral rights, because it is clear that there are efforts to modify without permission. The violation of economic rights cannot be proven because we do not yet have information whether the song is used for commercial purposes," concluded Ari Juliano Gema.

For information, the heirs of the copyright holder of the song Halo-halo Bandung have investigated this case. They managed to remove Hello Kuala Lumpur content on YouTube and other social media last October.
