When asked about her opinion on not being allowed to sing her own song anymore, Iis explained that she actually does not know and has not met the songwriter.

"I don't know, I haven't met Mas Yoni yet. Why are those TV stations banning me from singing that song? Did Mas Yoni register this song with LMK and LMKN? Because actually, those TV stations pay LMK when we sing anything. So it's not us (the singers) who pay," replied Iis while being a guest on the Pagi Pagi Ambyar Trans TV show (12/6).

She also expressed her confusion about why all the songwriters suddenly demand royalties. She herself questioned whether LMK is not paying the songwriters correctly.

Iis Dahlia also feels saddened to see the ongoing issues regarding song copyright. She believes that singers are invited to an event to perform the songs they popularized.

"I feel like I popularized this song, why can't I sing this song then?" asked Iis Dahlia in response.

"Actually, maybe if it wasn't sung, this song might still be somewhere, right? We as singers now need clarity," she said.

She also questioned where the label was when artists are sued by songwriters. She admitted to feeling sad and missing the camaraderie of musicians from the past. She feels that the relationship among musicians and artists back then was like family because they supported each other.
