Vidi Aldiano Sued by Senior Musician Keenan Nasution for Allegedly Performing 'Nuansa Bening' Without Permission

Kapanlagi.com - A lawsuit against singer Vidi Aldiano regarding the song Nuansa Bening has officially been filed by Keenan Nasution and Budi Pekerti at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court. The two senior musicians feel their copyright has been violated because their song was used in a concert without permission.

Keenan's attorney, Minola Sebayang, confirmed that the trial will begin soon. He stated that the schedule notification for the hearing has been received by his team.

"Yes, it is true that on the 28th we have received a release notification for the hearing. This means the day after tomorrow, regarding the lawsuit from our client, Keenan Nasution and Budi Pekerti, who are the creators of the song Nuansa Bening," said Minola Sebayang at his office on Monday (26/5/2025).

1. Efforts for Reconciliation Have Been Made

Minola explained that efforts for a peaceful resolution had actually been made long before the lawsuit was filed. However, an agreement was never reached.

"This is a long case, there have been several meetings and negotiations, but no common ground has been found. Thus, to ensure legal certainty, our client has filed a lawsuit, and the lawsuit has been accepted and registered at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court. The hearing has already been scheduled for May 28," he explained.

2. Performing a Song Without Permission from the Creator

According to Minola, the main issue lies in the use of the song Nuansa Bening in performances without any official permission from the creators. This is considered a copyright infringement.

"This is related to the use of the song Nuansa Bening in several of Vidi's concerts where he did not seek permission beforehand from its creators, namely Keenan Nasution and Budi Pekerti. So indeed, there have been several meetings about this," Minola revealed.

3. Several Performances Considered Violating

According to him, the use of the song did not just happen once or twice, but reached a significant number. He mentioned that he has inventoried several performances that are considered violations.

"Several times, maybe even hundreds of times, the song was used in concerts and commercial performances. Yes, there was indeed no permission from the creator. However, in our lawsuit, we presented 31 commercial performances in which the song 'Nuansa Bening' was performed but there was no permission from the creator," he said.

4. Only Vidi Aldiano is Sued

When asked who the defendants are in this case, Minola mentioned only one name. He emphasized that the use of the song was done by the singer directly.

"Only Vidi is being sued because he is the only one using that song. This is similar to Ari Bias's lawsuit against Agnez Mo for using the song 'Bilang Saja' commercially without permission. This is also like using 'Nuansa Bening' without permission at his commercial concerts," he concluded.
