JAKARTA - Eclat Story claims that CIMB Niaga has alleged copyright budgets for their work.

Through a statement on the official Instagram account, the group consisting of Yosuas Gunawan and Yeshua Abraham said their musical and video works had been used without permission by the bank.

"The work is an exclusive song and video that has been officially registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia," read an Eclat Story statement, quoted Friday, November 7.

Eclat Story emphasized that it has never questioned the use of works for non-commercial purposes. However, problems arise because the use by CIMB Niaga is included in the commercial realm.

"From the beginning, we have always been open to 'please cover, please listen to it, even use it on social media. But for commercial purposes, especially by large institutions, there must be appropriate permits and awards for the creator of the work," said Eclat Story representative.

Furthermore, the group, which is known for the song Bentuk Cinta, said that solving problems had been pursued, and even sent several summons. However, there is no good response from the bank, which in fact seems to think there are no serious problems.

"Even our attorney's call to meet directly with the Board of Directors has never been taken seriously," they said.

"We believe every work deserves to be appreciated in the right way. If that big brand can use works without permission, what about the other musicians out there?", added Eclat Story.

Until this article was written, VOI had tried to contact Eclat Story, but no response had yet been given.
