–
Chairman of the National Collective Management Institute (
Lmkn
) Dharma Oratmangun responded to the polemic of song screenings in restaurants to other places of business that had to deal with
Royalty
.
He then responded to the steps of a number of business actors who chose to turn the sound of birds until the sound of nature so as not to be royalty, after the case of gacoan noodles that entered the criminal and civil domain.
However, according to Dharma, ambience like the sound of nature to the bird also remains bound by the party who first recorded aka the producer of the phonogram.
“There is no obligation to have to play music. But if they play music in it, they want Indonesian music or western songs or traditional songs are required to pay copyright,” Dharma said, as reported

“Now if he plays the sound of birds or any sound, there is the right of the phonogram producer. The recording producer has related rights. The right to the recording material, it is also related rights from the form of audio recordings,” he continued.
Dharma then explained that the rules regarding royalties did not only apply to songs from Indonesia, but also foreign production.According to him, the royalty was even paid through LMKN.

He ensured that the Collective Management Institute (LMK) under the auspices of LMKN had collaborated with LMKN from abroad, so that the royalty payment process could be managed easily through one door.
“So, using overseas songs must pay royalties through LMKN,” said Dharma Oratmangun.
“Yes, we are collabing with LMKN in each country. So, the appeal is just using music, paying royalties, finished,” he continued.
Royalty music is a long polemic that has not yet met a bright spot for various parties.The issue even spread to business actors, especially since the Gacoan noodle case was hit by a royalty lawsuit.
The case involved the Bali Gacoan Noodle boss, I Gusti Ayu Sasih Ira, who was a suspect in the Copyright of Music and Songs.He was entangled in the case following one of the LMK named Selmi suing Ayu for using music and songs commercially in her place of business.
Following the incident, a number of business people also voiced not to play local songs at their business location even though they came from streaming services that had paid subscriptions.
Restaurant and hotel entrepreneurs also claimed to be anxious to play songs in the business place after the royalty case of the Gacoan Noodle.
Secretary General of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) Maulana Yusran understood that several entrepreneurs played the chirping of birds or other natural sounds as a substitute for songs.
“When asked to us, surely yes [there is concern] because understanding among entrepreneurs about the rules in Law 28/2014 is not evenly distributed,” Yusran said when contacted
