JAKARTA - Rayen Pono reiterated his position in the chaotic copyright of songs/music, especially related to royalty governance issues, which have been in the public spotlight in recent times.

The former Pasto personnel supported audits of the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) and the Collective Management Institute (LMK) as well as rejected the application of direct license.

"The LMK (N) narrative must be audited I strongly agree. But the narrative that DIRECT LICENSE is the best solution is because the way that is now obsolete, I don't agree because the law hasn't said so," said Rayen Pono, citing his statement on Instagram, Wednesday, August 27.

Rayen sees that the main problems in royalty management in Indonesia must focus on improving implementation in the field.

"The main problem is not from what has been regulated but IMPLEMENTation from the rules," he continued. And immediately decide the most SOPHISTICATED system with the spirit of DECENTRALIZATION so that everything is transparent regarding distribution.

Furthermore, Rayen also said that the state must play an active role in resolving this problem, not handing it over to parties who do not have competence.

The state must be present to regulate and prove that the country is more than its people. Don't leave this matter to smart groups. If something is wrong and must be responsible, show who it is. If there is an error due to limitations, immediately find a solution and fix it," Rayen said.

"This is not a matter of the interests of a handful, a group, let alone those who want to trade the system. Because we are all musicians of music with all the real links are VICTIMS," he said.
