JAKARTA - The National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) signed a memorandum of understanding with a number of parties including the Indonesian Music Promoter Association (APMI) and the event organizer community to help deal with all possible problems that arise related to the use of royalties.
"This agreement is important so that when EO friends (event organizers/event organizers) get pressure from parties who wish to present songs or music that have not received a royal license for performing rights, then we can help back-up (stipulation) to protect them," said LMKN Commissioner for Law and Litigation Marcell Siahaan to Antara, Thursday.
Marcell, who is also a singer, said that so far there are still EOs who feel completely wrong or confused when facing client requests who tend to ignore the importance of paying royalties for performing rights (the right to display a work) primarily in the commercial realm.
He then took an example of what he felt himself as a solo singer. Marcell also did not turn a blind eye that so far there is still an EO that is classified as naughty and does not care about royalty licenses for commercial use, although it is still more dominant for those who are aware and then fulfill their obligations.
I hope EO's friends also take care of their muruah. Therefore, when one day EO faces a strange client asking for this and that, just tell LMKN. We will handle it, not the EO who faces it. Pity," Marcell said.
Not only EO, Marcell also hopes that all parties who intersect with the use of songs and/music to understand the essence of the existence of Copyright which is utilized in every commercial realm.
"Cipta rights are nothing if no one produces and sings, then there will be Related Rights. Because there are producers and performers there, there are three different sources related to their rights," Marcell explained.
According to Marcell, understanding must arise from users that in order to seek profit, the basic ethics is the will to give appreciation to song owners.
"The philosophy is if you use and sound other people's belongings, especially to make money, aka for commercial purposes, then, come on, pay, please," said Marcell.
