JAKARTA - Ahmad Dhani and Piyu responded to Agnez Mo's statement on social media some time ago, which alluded to the greedy and selfish side.

As is known, Agnez was aggressively talking about music royalties, after the decision of the Central Jakarta Commercial Court ruled that she had committed copyright infringement for performing the song Just Ticket without Ari Bias' permission as a songwriter.

In a statement on social media, Agnez spoke out loud and stated her stance as a singer.

"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.

Responding to Agnez's statement, Ahmad Dhani and Piyu as administrators of the All-Indonesian Composters Association (AKSI) were confused by the berapatan' called the singer who is now based in the United States.

"We want to know where our greed elements come from. Because basically every human being is created according to their respective portions. There is a portion of the creator, the portion is the singer, the portion is the EO and the organizers. And they get their respective portions," Piyu said at a press conference in Fatmawati, South Jakarta, Monday, February 17.

"Well, so far we haven't received, these songwriters don't get their portion, their natural rights," he continued.

Ahmad Dhani supports what the General Chair of ACTION said. Instead, he wanted to ask Agnez back how much has been produced from singing songs composed by ACTION members on stage.

"Later ask Agnez again, since 2014 since the UUHC took effect until now, how many billions have been produced from our songs," said Dhani.

"Well, then ask the creator, how much can the creator get? Zero," he added.

For AKSI, a music performance must benefit all parties involved, not only those who are on stage, but also the songwriters whose songs are performed.

"Yes, again, we have to get their own portions. So far, we don't get the portion, we don't get the rights that are natural, don't provide economic benefits for songwriters. So, where is the greed? That must be asked," concluded Piyu.
