JAKARTA - Agnez Mo is increasingly talking about his legal case with Ari Bias. After hinting that he will fight back through an appeal, 38-year-old singers are increasingly making uploads about music royalties.

Through Instagram Story, Agnez displayed the opinions of several parties who stated that the singer was not the party responsible for paying royalties for performing rights.

Indonesian law IS CLEAR. IT NEVER MEANS THAT THE USER IS THE SINGER ARTIST," reads Marulam Hutauruk's upload, which Agnez displayed on Instagram Story, Sunday, February 16.

Marulam said all legal provisions call USERS 'the Businessman', such as event organizers, hotel and cafe entrepreneurs, and others.

Previously, Agnez also made a strong statement. Although he did not mention Ari Bias' name and referred directly to the court's decision, he talked about his stance and people who were more concerned with personal matters.

"Strengthening to the real truth is never easy. No matter how precise and fair our stance is, there will always be people who choose to misunderstand and twist words," Agnez wrote.

They even attack our characters all because of greed and their personal interests. However, the real danger comes from those who loudly shout 'demen justice' but their behavior is contradictory. Without being shy about spreading lies for the sake of lies," he continued.

The singer, who is now based in the United States, also spoke about people who dared to speak up, by mentioning the names of Melly Goeslaw and Armand Maulana.

"Not many people have the courage to speak out against the blatant corruption that erodes and also opposes a legally binding decision. That's why I have great respect for Teh Melly, Kang Armand and several other people who refuse to remain silent," he said.

'It takes true strength to fight strong currents, especially when manipulators try to attack personal integrity because of their reckless efforts to control the narrative. However, hopefully this incident will serve as a reminder that: The truth will always find its way.'

For information, the panel of judges at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court, in their decision, partially granted Ari Bias' lawsuit and found Agnez Mo guilty of copyright infringement. The 38-year-old singer was also required to pay a loss fine of Rp. 1.5 billion.
