JAKARTA - Ahmad Dhani revealed one of the successes of direct license applied to the songs he wrote.

Through his Instagram account, the Dewa 19 frontman uploaded a screenshot of the conversation with Judika.

In the message, Judika is seen sending proof of payment. In his statement, a message was sent on December 25.

"Pakde 26 bakin 2 lagu pakde sudah dibayar ya..request orang Garuda," bunyi pesan Judika kepada Ahmad Dhani.

"Ok," answered Ahmad Dhani to Judika.

In the proof of payment, the account in the name of Kreatan Kreatif Production transfers Rp15 million to an account in the name of Dhani Ahmad Prasetyo.

With the proof of the transfer, Dhani called Judika one example of a singer who is obedient to the Copyright Law.

"Tabati Undang-Undang Hak Cipta," tulis Ahmad Dhani.

Previously, Ahmad Dhani together with the All-Indonesian Composite Association (AKSI) stated that his party would be serious about undergoing direct license. In fact, he is ready to make a police report if there are concert organizers who do not want to obey the ACTION.

"We will provide subpoenas to all EOs in Indonesia who carry out concert activities using songs from our members, ACTION composers, without permission we will report them to the police directly," said Ahmad Dhani during a press conference in Kuningan, South Jakarta, Monday, January 22.

"Especially EO who knows me, surely they know I'm serious," he said.

Furthermore, Dhani said that his party would ask the police to come directly to concerts that did not heed the summons.

The point is that all EOs that display songs from composers who have joined and performed integrity pacts with ACTION, they all have to ask permission from ACTION. If there is no permit from ACTION, we will report it to the police, especially the permission letter from the composer who is members of the ACTION," said Ahmad Dhani.

"We will report it to the police. If necessary, we will take the police to the concert, we will arrest everything, EO and the singer," he said.
