JAKARTA - Piyu as Chair of the All-Indonesian Composite Association (AKSI) expressed her objection to the statement made by the Director General of Intellectual Property (Dirjen KI) Razilu regarding permits (licences) and royalties in the forming rights.
As is known, Razilu said that permission to perform songs in the context of music concerts is not necessary, as long as royalties are paid through the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN).
Razilu also said that LMKN is the only institution that has the rights to collect royalties. He also appointed the organizers of the promoter or event organizer as the party obliged to pay royalties.
Responding to what was explained, Piyu said that the Director General of KI could not claim to be representatives of the government to talk about music copyright.
"I really regret it if I am here, the statement comes out of the mouth or voice of a Director General of KI, because he cannot claim that he is a representative of the government or the voice of the government. Because we only see the Director General at the level under the Minister," Piyu told the media crew in Fatmawati, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 24.
Guitarist Padi Reborn also specifically referred to Razilu as a figure who did not understand the struggle of songwriters in defending his rights.
"Then the second one, the current Director General of KI, Mr. Razilu, does not know the process we have been fighting for for for a long time," said Piyu.

"I don't think Pak Razilu follows that. But why suddenly he conveyed such a statement.
The 51-year-old musician still believes that the entire narrative proposed by ACTION is the truth, which is based on the Copyright Law itself. He also asked Razilu to correct his statement.
"This Copyright Law is clear, that the Copyright Law is regulated or made by the government to regulate creators, not to regulate singers or regulate LMKN," said Piyu.
"As the Chair of the ACTION, I regret the statement from the Director General of KI. I ask to be corrected that the government also cannot interfere in this matter," he concluded.
