JAKARTA - Denny Chasmala as a songwriter who is a member of the All-Indonesian Composite Association (AKSI), conveyed a message to young musicians such as Bernadya who are currently gaining popularity.
As is known, ACTION is an association that hardly fights for the rights of the songwriters who are members.
AKSI wants permission when their songs are performed on stage. In addition, the Piyu-led association also applies direct licenses for live performance rights royalties.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Bernadya as a songwriter who joined the Indonesian Voice Vibration (VIS), became one of the applicants in the judicial review of the Copyright Law to the Constitutional Court.
So one of the 29 singers who submitted a judicial review, Bernadya questioned the validity regarding the permit to perform songs and direct licenses.
Meanwhile, Denny Chasmala said that young musicians like Bernadya did not really know the purpose of the ACTION struggle, which was intended to protect songwriters.
"Maybe young people now, like Bernadya, may not feel it yet. But later when they have a family, already have children, and their careers have dropped, one of which is probably a creation," said Denny Chasmala when met at Senayan, Central Jakarta recently.
Denchas, as he is familiarly called, feels that young singers such as Bernadya who are currently popular, will arrive when they are no longer productive. He suggested that it is still easy for those who care more about the struggles of songwriters.
For young musicians, especially songwriters, let's think about this. Because one day you will be old, you will not be productive. Hopefully these songs will be your passive income when you are old," said Denchas.
"So if you are young and don't care about this, you will regret it," he added.

Denchas took the case from himself. For him, song creation must be a benefit, especially for the songwriter himself.
"Like me, I'm old too. The young ones, I hope, my songs can be useful for me too, for other people too," he said.
"If it's useful for other people, it should also be useful for me. So, songwriters must also voice their rights, especially performing rights," said Denchas.
