The Copyright Lawsuit Hearing of Vidi Aldiano is Postponed, Keenan Nasution's Side Feels No Disappointment

Kapanlagi.com - The first hearing of the copyright lawsuit for the song Nuansa Bening filed by Keenan Nasution and Rudi Pekerti against Vidi Aldiano has to be postponed again. The trial, held at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court on Wednesday (28/5/2025), was not attended by the defendant.

Keenan and Rudi's attorney, Minola Sebayang, revealed that the panel of judges decided to postpone the trial for three weeks. The postponement was made because neither Vidi Aldiano nor his attorney attended this first hearing at all.

"This is the first hearing, the session has already started and it turns out that the defendant was not present today, and therefore a second summons will be issued and the hearing will be rescheduled three weeks from today, which is June 11," said Minola at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court on Wednesday (28/5/2025).

He hopes that at the next hearing, Vidi or his legal representative can show good faith by attending the trial. This hope is expressed so that the legal process can proceed fairly and clearly.

"Well, we hope that on June 11, Vidi or his legal counsel will be present so that this case can proceed well, can be examined properly, and there will be a good decision for both parties," he said.

2. It Is Not Yet Known Who Vidi's Legal Counsel Is

Vidi's absence makes the plaintiff's legal counsel unable to predict how the legal process will unfold in the future. Minola also emphasized that it is still unknown who will be Vidi Aldiano's legal counsel in this case.

"Not present. So it's not just Vidi who is absent, but there is also no legal counsel present today. Therefore, we do not know whether Vidi will attend himself or be represented by his legal counsel. And we still do not know who his legal counsel is up to today," he explained.

3. Minola Reveals No Feelings of Disappointment

Nevertheless, Minola stated that they do not feel disappointed about Vidi's absence. He considers this part of the judicial mechanism, which indeed provides the defendant with up to three chances to appear.

"Hmm, how should I put it? Since this is the trial mechanism, a common occurrence, we see this as something ordinary, just normal, there's no need to feel disappointed, because this is part of the trial mechanism and the opportunity given three times was not utilized, then certainly the one who loses out is the defendant themselves," he said.

4. Two Chances for Vidi to Appear

Minola also reminded that if the defendant still does not appear after three times, the panel of judges can make a decision in absentia. According to him, the opportunity to defend oneself remains open as long as there are still two more court sessions scheduled.

"Because there will still be a decision made by the court when the clerk deems it appropriate and fitting, not appearing three times, then there will be a decision in absentia," he stated.

"So I think Vidi will not waste the opportunity available, because Vidi only has two chances left (to appear), and to explain all the issues at hand," concluded Minola.
