Regarding this phenomenon, the issue of permission from the creator is often ignored. Like what Harry Sabar, a famous musician and creator, music arranger, singer, film illustrator, and producer, experienced with his works such as "Lenggang Jakarta", "Catatan Si Boy", "Emosi Jiwa", "Sesaat", "Bayang Pesona", and "Kekagumanku".

Many of these works are displayed on social media platforms and digital music streaming services, but unfortunately, thousands of contents that use Harry Sabar's songs are uploaded without permission, without mentioning the name of the creator, and even using fake accounts under Harry Sabar's name.
