JAKARTA - The copyright chaos in the country's music industry is peppered with several interesting events, one of which occurred between two Padi Reborn, Piyu (guitar) and Fadly (vocals) personnel, who had different views regarding the permit to perform songs and royalty payments.
As is known, Piyu is the General Chair of the All-Indonesian Composite Association (AKSI), while Fadly joined as a member of the Indonesian Voice Vibration (VISION).
The difference between the two was even exposed on social media. At that time, Piyu criticized 29 VISI singers who submitted a judicial review of the Copyright Law to the Constitutional Court. He said the singers did not respect the moral rights and economic rights of songwriters.
Fadly, who doesn't seem to agree with the guitarist's view, commented 'Mas Piyu, I'm in (between) 29 (singERS). When will we talk directly.'
What appears on social media implies how Piyu and Fadly although both Padi Reborn personnel do not establish good communication when talking about copyright.
Responding to what happened, Piyu saw it not as a problem that needed to be raised. The 51-year-old guitarist saw misunderstandings on social media as reasonable.

"When there is, yes, we have finished everything, we have no problem," Piyu told the media crew in Fatmawati, South Jakarta recently.
Last weekend, Piyu and Fadly had compactly appeared on the same stage, when Pady Reborn was line up for the 2025 Allo Bank Festival.
"We've been together for 28 years, because of the statement on social media, we're just fighting," said the Padi Reborn frontman.
Piyu believes that he is also Fadly is mature enough to face differences of opinion. Instead, he sees the difference as a process to be better.
"And I think Mas Fadly and I, we are adults and wiser to see this as a series of better improvement processes for the future music industry," said Piyu again.
I think Fadly is also wise in responding to all of this. This is part of democracy and dynamics only. If for example in one band the opinion continues to be the same, it will not progress," he concluded.
