No More Royalty Issues: Shut Down the Music If You Disagree with Royalties!

Once again music royalty issues are causing headaches for the Chairman of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), Haryadi B. Sukamdani. He speaks up about this ongoing dispute. According to him, the first issue lies in transparency. ‘This is an institution that collects and distributes royalties, but lacks transparency,’ Sukamdani stated. He emphasized the importance of clarity in royalty distribution to avoid future conflicts. In response to establishments facing difficulties paying royalties, Sukamdani suggested a straightforward solution. ‘If you disagree with the royalties, just turn off the music,’ he straightforwardly said.
