The sad news of the passing of singer Vidi Aldiano does not immediately halt the legal proceedings that entangle him. The copyright lawsuit over the song Nuansa Bening filed by senior musician Keenan Nasution is confirmed to continue to the level of cassation in the Supreme Court.
This was emphasized by Minola Sebayang, the legal counsel for Keenan Nasution. According to him, in civil law, the death of a defendant does not automatically dismiss a case.
"So legally, this civil matter does not have any effect, it does not affect the case. So it does not automatically cause the case to be dismissed," said Minola Sebayang when met in the Tebet area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (03/18/2026).
Minola explained that this situation is very different from criminal law, where charges will be dropped if the defendant passes away. In civil cases, legal responsibilities can transfer to other related parties.
So, who will continue the legal responsibilities of the late Vidi? Minola elaborated that if the cassation decision requires the fulfillment of obligations from the defendant, then that burden will fall on the heirs.
"Because the defendant has passed away, the obligation to fulfill that obligation lies with the heirs," he explained.
According to him, the concept of civil law in Indonesia states that heirs not only receive rights or wealth but also inherit obligations or debts from the deceased. In addition, in this lawsuit, Vidi's father, Harry Kiss, is also a co-defendant, so the legal process still has a living subject.
"Moreover, in the lawsuit that we submitted, the parties... the defendant is the late Vidi and there is also the co-defendant Harry Kiss," he added.
Currently, the case is already at the Supreme Court and is just waiting for a decision from the panel of judges, without needing any further trial process. Whatever the outcome, the decision will be the final chapter of this long-standing dispute.
