The Creator of the Song 'Nuansa Bening' Reveals That Vidi Aldiano's Father Initially Allowed Production Only in CD Format

An agreement has reportedly been reached in writing and is limited solely to the interests of CD production. Rudi stated that there were no issues at the beginning because the agreement was made through good communication."This is provided and regulated by an agreement between Harry Kiss and the creator of the song 'Nuansa Bening,'" said Rudi.

However, after the album's release, communication between the parties was said by Rudi to have been cut off. He emphasized that he never received any news from Vidi after that initial collaboration."However, after 2008, there was never any communication between Harry Kiss, Vidi, and me, Keenan Nasution," said Rudi.

In 2024, Keenan finally contacted Vidi's management again to inquire about the continuation of the use of the song. He felt it was necessary to know in detail how his song had been used for more than a decade.

"There was a meeting with the parties of Harry Kiss and Vidi Aldiano in 2024 asking about the status of the song 'Nuansa Bening', which was inquired about anytime and anywhere from 2008 to 2025, regarding what Vidi has done with the song 'Nuansa Bening'," Keenan revealed.

Keenan exemplified the use of the song as a ringtone (RBT) in the past as a form of commercial exploitation. He stated that for such usage there should be regular and transparent reporting to the creator. "There should be a report every month, right? Like RBT, there should be, right? Well, so far there hasn't been any," he said.

Vidi, through his management, was said to have provided a report on the use of the song and offered an amount of Rp 50 million. However, the offer was not accepted by Keenan and Rudi as it was considered inconsistent with the initial agreement and the commercial value of the song.

Several meetings have been held as a mediation effort between both parties. However, after several discussions, Keenan believes there has yet to be a fair meeting point for the songwriter.

Since no resolution was found through deliberation, both decided to take legal action. A formal lawsuit has been filed with the Central Jakarta Commercial Court and has been registered systematically.

According to official information from the court, this case is recorded under number 51/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Cipta/2025/PN.Niaga.Jkt.Pst. In the lawsuit, Keenan and Rudi accuse Vidi of copyright infringement in the commercial use of the song.

However, after the release of the album, communication between the parties was said by Rudi to be cut off. He emphasized that he never received any news from Vidi after that initial collaboration."However, after 2008, there has been no communication between Harry Kiss, Vidi, and me, Keenan Nasution," said Rudi.
