JAKARTA - The chairman of the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN), Dharma Oratmangun, fully supports legal remedies against naughty' copyright users who always avoid paying royalties.
As is known, the Director of PT Mitra Bali Sukses, the manager of the Mie Gacoan network in the Bali and outside Java regions, has been named a suspect by the Bali Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate. This is called a good step.
For Dharma, the legal steps taken by the Indonesian Music License Center (SELMI) "The Collective Management Institute (LMK) which reports Mie Gacoan" is an effort to maintain copyright from songwriters.
"You have to (take legal steps). That's part of maintaining the essence of copyright that is authorized and the related rights that are authorized," said Dharma in Gambir, Central Jakarta recently.
"Whether he is civil or criminal, please run (the legal process), each of them has a legal study. The patience of copyright owners in LMK and LMKN is already at a point that cannot be compromised anymore," he added.

According to Dharma, many copyright users do not pay royalties. He also encouraged that legal proceedings be taken against those who are 'naughty'.
We have a list of a lot of people (who haven't paid royalties). There are more than 100 event organizers, then karaoke houses, malls that haven't paid yet. Yes, that's fine, we'll just process the law," said Dharma.
"I'm tired of talking, I don't know, and so on, so the legal mechanism is running," he concluded.
