The Writer&#8217;s Permission Still Has to Be Cleared."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Since 17 December 2025, the party that owes the live royalty on a commercial show in Indonesia is the event organiser, not the artist on stage. Constitutional Court decision 28\/PUU-XXIII\/2025 held that the phrase &#8220;Setiap Orang&#8221; in Article 23(5) of the 2014 Copyright Law has no binding force unless it is read as &#8220;termasuk penyelenggara pertunjukan secara komersial&#8221;, meaning it includes commercial performance organisers.<\/p>\n<p>The petition was filed on 7 March 2025 by 29 musicians, among them Armand Maulana, Nazril Irham and Raisa Andriana, and granted in part. The <a href=\"https:\/\/pasal.id\/peraturan\/putusan-mk\/puu-mk-28-2025\">decision text<\/a> is public.<\/p>\n<h2>Three phrases changed, and nothing else<\/h2>\n<p>Article 23(5) now names the organiser as the paying party. Article 87(1) on &#8220;imbalan yang wajar&#8221;, or reasonable compensation, must be read as compensation set &#8220;sesuai dengan mekanisme dan tarif berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan&#8221;, so a fee argument in Indonesia is now a tariff argument.<\/p>\n<p>Article 113(2)(f) requires restorative justice to be tried before criminal sanctions, which reach three years and a fine of up to Rp500 million. Moch. Dani Pratama Huzaini set out all three readings for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hukumonline.com\/berita\/a\/implikasi-putusan-mk-soal-komersialitas-hak-cipta-dan-prosedur-royalti-lt694b23df3852f\/\">Hukumonline<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Everything else was refused. Article 9(3), which bans commercial use of a work without the author&#8217;s permission, survived untouched. Paying the tariff does not substitute for clearing the song.<\/p>\n<h2>The Court defined the payer<\/h2>\n<p>The decision describes the penyelenggara, the organiser, as the party that designs, manages and runs a show from start to finish: concept, budget, logistics, sponsors and vendors. The pelaku pertunjukan, the performer, is whoever puts the work in front of an audience.<\/p>\n<p>The practical reason, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnnindonesia.com\/nasional\/20251217180137-12-1307951\/mk-royalti-pertunjukan-komersial-dibayar-oleh-penyelenggara\">CNN Indonesia<\/a> reported on the day: the organiser is the party that knows the exact ticket sales a commercial show turns on.<\/p>\n<h2>The direct licence route is now in the ruling<\/h2>\n<p>LMKN means Lembaga Manajemen Kolektif Nasional, the national body that collects performance royalties from commercial users.<\/p>\n<p>The Court stated that a rights holder who does not join an LMK is not bound by the &#8220;kecuali diperjanjikan lain&#8221; wording and may collect through a direct agreement with the user, which the decision names as a direct licence system. A society member can still reserve part of that right by contract, under Article 81.<\/p>\n<p>For a publisher outside the Indonesian societies, that is the sentence to keep: the invoice can go to the promoter under contract rather than into the collective pool.<\/p>\n<h2>What the tariff is<\/h2>\n<p>Under Government Regulation 56 of 2021, users pay through LMKN immediately after commercial use whether or not a licence agreement exists (Article 10), and it collects for members and non-members alike (Article 12), per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hukumonline.com\/klinik\/a\/bayar-royalti-lagu-ke-pencipta-atau-lmkn-lt6626fb3a6dae0\/\">Klinik Hukumonline<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Concert rates still run off ministerial decree HKI.2.OT.03.01-02 of 2016: 2 percent of gross ticket sales, plus 1 percent on complimentary tickets, and 2 percent of production cost where a show is not ticketed. Rouse&#8217;s Rohin Pujari set those out for World Trademark Review, republished by <a href=\"https:\/\/conventuslaw.com\/report\/indonesia-artists-or-organizers-whos-really-responsible-for-live-performance-royalties\/\">Conventus Law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Permenkum 27 of 2025, issued on 7 August 2025, requires the user to apply for a licence and report usage through SILM, the ministry&#8217;s song and music information system.<\/p>\n<h2>What a label does with this<\/h2>\n<p>A promoter settling at 2 percent is not a rightsholder being paid. Indonesia is already <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/indonesia-rp70-billion-unclaimed-music-royalties-two-million-song-uses-no-owner\/\">holding Rp70 billion in royalties nobody has claimed<\/a>, and its rules <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/indonesia-expiry-date-unlogged-music-royalties-two-missed-periods-stops-qualifying\/\">put an expiry date on catalogue that goes unlogged<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Distribution puts a recording on Spotify Indonesia and Joox. It does not register the composition with an LMK or get writer splits into SILM, and only the second filing collects when a promoter pays the live tariff.<\/p>\n<p>Two clauses now earn their drafting time in an Indonesian live deal: who clears the composition under Article 9(3), and which route the Article 23(5) payment takes.<\/p>\n<p>The liability record shows why. The Commercial Court at Jakarta Pusat ordered a performer to pay Rp1.5 billion on 30 January 2025, at Rp500 million for each of three shows, and the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jawapos.com\/entertainment\/2508140216\/ma-kabulkan-kasasi-agnez-mo-terkait-sengketa-hak-cipta-dengan-ari-bias\">granted cassation in case 825 K\/Pdt.Sus-HKI\/2025<\/a> on 11 August 2025 and voided the award. The songwriter then told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detik.com\/pop\/music\/d-8068358\/agnez-mo-gak-salah-ari-bias-buru-penyelenggara\">detikPop<\/a> on 19 August 2025 he would revise his police report to point at the organisers.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/laos-lascap-cisac-member-songwriter-digital-royalties-collected-bangkok\/\">Laos, whose digital royalties are still collected in Bangkok<\/a>, Indonesia&#8217;s question is no longer who collects. It is whether your name is on the work when the organiser pays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indonesia&#8217;s Constitutional Court ruled on 17 December 2025 that the commercial event organiser, not the performer on stage, owes live music royalties through LMKN.
