Bens Leo Comments on Keke Bukan Boneka Song, Similar to Geng Halilintar Case

Kapanlagi.com - The song Keke Bukan Boneka, which is claimed to be created by Kekeyi, has gone viral due to its similarity to Novi Umar's song with a similar title, Aku Bukan Boneka. Responding to this issue, Bens Leo, as a music observer, speaks up.

According to Bens Leo, the similarity between Kekeyi's song and Novi Umar's work popularized by Rinni Wulandari can be classified as a copyright infringement. A similar case was also experienced by Atta Halilintar and his family, which ended with a lawsuit from Nagaswara.

"Well, as far as I know, the value in terms of money is in the millions. It could be millions. Because, as happened with the Halilintar gang, they performed a song that was recorded by Nagaswara. At that time, the case was the same. They uploaded a song that had been released in the market without permission from the recording label, and in the end, Nagaswara sued them for 5 million," said Bens Leo when interviewed by KapanLagi in Ciputat, South Tangerang (6/3/2020).

Regarding Kekeyi not having a label, Bens Leo revealed that the summons could be addressed to this beauty vlogger from Nganjuk individually. He emphasized that the existing evidence is strong enough to proceed with legal action.

"If she happens to consider herself personal, because it happens that Kekeyi herself always answers many netizens' questions, then it should be addressed to her. If there is no one else representing her, then that's it. If there is a lawyer, hand it over to the lawyer. And my suggestion is that if you want to use a lawyer, Novi Umar can also do the same. But even without a lawyer, this is already very strong," said Leo.

"So don't forget that in the Copyright Law, it is a complaint offense. So if it is not reported to the relevant parties regarding copyright infringement issues, then no one will intervene, so it must be reported first in order to get a response. So if Rahmawati Kekeyi is acting on her own behalf, just send the summons to Kekeyi," he added.

2. Investigate thoroughly to prevent becoming a bad habit

Furthermore, Bens Leo expressed his hope that Sony would thoroughly investigate this case to prevent it from becoming a bad habit among influencers. According to him, this issue of copyright infringement is actually quite significant and should be taken seriously.

"So this is not a small matter, so be careful. Why am I suggesting this to the court, so don't stop halfway because honestly, this will become a positive habit for YouTubers, especially YouTubers. Nowadays, it's a trend for people to cover other people's songs, and the problem is they do it without the creator's permission, and this is a violation of copyright," he concluded.
