Vidi Aldiano Sued for Singing a Song Without Permission, Amount of Compensation Claim to be Revealed in Court

Kapanlagi.com - Before filing a lawsuit at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court, mediation between Keenan Nasution and Budi Pekerti with Vidi Aldiano's party had actually been conducted several times. However, until now it has not yielded results due to differing views on the compensation amount.

Keenan's attorney, Minola Sebayang, mentioned that meetings with Vidi's legal team have been held several times. However, no agreement has been reached regarding what is considered fair.

"There have been several meetings, several encounters between us and Vidi's legal counsel, but there has been no consensus. Now, what kind of consensus is this? It's about the amount of compensation or fines," said Minola Sebayang at his office on Monday (26/5/2025).

1. Both Parties Agree There is Copyright Infringement

From the perspective of the infringement, both parties actually agree that there is copyright infringement. However, the offer from Vidi's team is considered not to adequately reflect the losses.

"Actually, this is just a matter of equivalence, equivalence regarding the amount of compensation. But if the equivalence is that there is indeed an infringement, this is what we agreed upon in our previous discussions with Vidi's legal team, that there is indeed an infringement, which is why compensation was offered, but what they offered is truly appropriate," he explained.

2. Include Compensation Amount

Minola stated that the lawsuit filed does indeed include a specific amount as compensation. However, he is not yet willing to disclose the details to the public.

"There is an amount, maybe during the trial in Central Jakarta my team will explain the details of the lawsuit. Because it’s not possible for us to disclose it today before the trial begins," he clarified.

3. The Number of Violations Will Be Revealed in Court

The amount of compensation will greatly depend on the number of violations that can be proven. Therefore, the exact value will be disclosed during the court proceedings.

"Later, it depends on how much the fine is and how many performances were done earlier. So the details can be seen at the time of the hearing with my team," he said.

Regarding Vidi's presence in court, Minola said that it is possible but can also be represented. He leaves the decision to the defendant.

"He is summoned to attend the trial. But that means it can be represented by his legal team, or he can also attend himself," said Minola.
