JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej inaugurated five members of the Creator National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) and five members of the Related Rights LMKN for the period 2022-2025.

"To the LKMN members who have been elected for the 2022-2025 period, I wish you good luck on duty," said Eddy, Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej's nickname, when giving a speech at the inauguration ceremony in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday, June 20.

It is also hoped that good LKMN programs can be continued, even improved in a definite, professional, accountable, synergistic, transparent, and innovative manner as the values of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

The members of the LKMN consist of parties representing elements of the government, the Collective Management Institute (LMK) of the Creator, the LMK of Related Rights, as well as representatives of the creators and owners of related rights.

Eddy then mentioned the names of the members of the Creator LMKN, namely Andre Hehanusa, Dharma Oratmangun, Waskito, Makki Omar, and Tito Sumarsono.

Meanwhile, members of the Related Rights LMKN consist of Bernard Nainggolan, Ikke Nurjanah, Johnny Maukar, Yessy Kurniawan, and Marcell Siahaan.

He explained that the replacement of members of the Creator LMKN and Related Rights LMKN today is in order to implement the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number 9 of 2022 which is based on meeting the needs of the community for changes in the management of royalties in the music and song fields, which represent the owners of the related rights.

In the regulations governing the implementation of Government Regulation Number 56 of 2021 concerning Management of Song and/or Music Copyright Royalties, he continued, there are points of change, including changes in the position and selection of members of the Creator LMKN and Related Rights LMKN.

Eddy also explained that the determination of LKMN membership was based on an agreement between LMK and LMK as evidenced by the minutes of the meeting.

"In the previous regulation, for LMKN membership, the selection committee was selected. This system was changed because it was deemed not to represent the interests of the rights holder of the music/song copyrighted works," he said.
