JAKARTA - The current music industry seems to be faced with two contradictory views regarding the permission to perform songs and royalties regulated in the Copyright Act.

On the one hand, there is the All-Indonesian Composite Association (AKSI), which calls for the need for permission to perform songs to creators and royalty payments with a direct license system.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, there is the Indonesian Voice Vibration (VISION), which sees no need for permission to perform songs for music performances, as well as royalty payments to the Collective Management Institute (LMK).

Seeing these differences which eventually caused chaos Slank stated his attitude not to be on one side.

Slank's vocalist, Kaka, admitted that an invitation to camp had arrived. However, he decided not to get involved in it.

"Some invited the camps, I don't want to, Some invited gangs there, gangs here, I don't want to," Kaka told the media crew at the Slank Headquarters located in Duren Tiga, South Jakarta recently.

Kaka emphasized that the invitation asked Slank to speak out about the Copyright Law. Slank also chose to remain silent and take a position not to side with anyone.

"Yes, maybe they were told, not told to call, told to talk, told to say that both (ACTION and VISION) tried to do good. It's okay," continued Kaka.

"The important thing is that we obey the law. If those who can be ratified, come along. If both are ratified, go along," said the drummer, Bimbim.

For information, regarding the permit to perform songs and royalty management, until now Slank still believes in LMK.
