Getting Hotter, Ahmad Dhani Calls Agnez Mo Just Talk with No Evidence

Kapanlagi.com - The copyright dispute between Agnez Mo and songwriter Ari Bias continues to be a hot topic in the Indonesian music industry. After the Central Jakarta Commercial Court issued a verdict requiring Agnez Mo to pay compensation of IDR 1.5 billion, the singer finally spoke out through Deddy Corbuzier's podcast.

However, instead of calming the controversy, Agnez's statement actually triggered a strong reaction from musician Ahmad Dhani. According to the frontman of Dewa 19, Agnez's act of speaking in public without attending the trial is deemed inappropriate. He even stated that speaking without evidence on a podcast will not change the legal decision.

In response to this, Agnez Mo remains firm in her stance to fight for justice through legal channels. She has officially filed for cassation and emphasized that the previous court ruling does not comply with the applicable laws. Read more here.

This case began with a claim from the songwriter Ari Bias, who accused Agnez Mo of using his work without permission and without providing appropriate royalties. Ari Bias took legal action, bringing the case to the Central Jakarta Commercial Court. After going through the judicial process, the court ultimately ruled in favor of Ari Bias and ordered Agnez Mo to pay compensation of Rp 1.5 billion.

2. Ahmad Dhani Also Speaks Out

After the court's decision was announced, Ahmad Dhani also shared his opinion. He expressed disappointment at Agnez's choice to speak through a podcast rather than attend the hearing. According to him, the courtroom is the right place to present a defense with strong evidence, not social media or podcasts.

3. Agnez Mo Clarifies Through Podcast

In a podcast with Deddy Corbuzier, Agnez Mo stated that she was never contacted regarding the copyright case. She claimed that Ahmad Dhani only reached out to her to ask for support in his candidacy for a seat in the parliament. This statement then prompted a response from Ahmad Dhani.

4. Ahmad Dhani Denies Agnez Mo's Claims

In response to Agnez's statement, Ahmad Dhani firmly denied it. He claimed to have evidence of conversations with Agnez that prove he had contacted the singer regarding this case. He even mentioned that he had tried to reach out to Agnez's family, including her brother, Steve, and her mother, but did not receive a response.

5. Ahmad Dhani's Offer to Resolve the Case

Ahmad Dhani revealed that before this case went to court, he had actually offered a peaceful solution. He mentioned that Ari Bias only requested compensation of Rp 5 million per concert, which if multiplied by three amounts to Rp 15 million. Ahmad Dhani was even willing to pay that amount himself if Agnez Mo was reluctant to do so.

6. Agnez Mo Files Cassation

In response to the Commercial Court's ruling, Agnez Mo has finally filed a cassation. She argued that the decision was not in accordance with the applicable laws and needed to be reviewed. Nevertheless, she chose not to comment much on this case as it is still in the legal process. Agnez also hopes that this case can serve as a lesson for other musicians to better understand copyright law in Indonesia.
