Lawsuits Against Vidiโค Aldiano โDismissed, But legal battle May Not โฃBe Over
Jakarta, November โฃ21, 2025 – Threeโ lawsuits filed against singer Vidi Aldianoโฃ regarding copyright and creator creditโ have been declared “Unacceptable” โ(Niet Ontvankelijke Verklaard/NO) by aโข panel ofโฃ judges at theโข Central Jakartaโ district Court, โbut the legal path remains open for theโค plaintiffs. The cases, brought by Keenan Nasution, Rudi Pekerti, and anotherโ party, alleged unauthorizedโข distribution โคof a song and improper metadata attribution on digital platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music.
Keenan Nasution initially sought IDR 3 billionโฃ in compensation, while Rudi Pekerti demanded a change in creator name metadata and IDR 900 million in damages. however, โattorney M Firman Akbar, representing vidi aldiano, โขclarified that โthe โ”unacceptable” ruling does not equate to a โdismissal on โthe merits ofโ the case.
“Actually it’s like this, in a lawsuit, if the Panel of Judges declares the โฃPlaintiff’s claim ‘Unacceptable’, that is not ‘free from theโ lawsuit’,”โค Firman Akbar explained to journalists friday. โข”In Civil this is differentโข from Criminalโฆ Inโฃ civil,โข you can only reject the lawsuit, grant the lawsuit,โ or declare the lawsuit unacceptable.”
Firman Akbar emphasized that the court’s decision focused on formal โdefects in the filings, meaning the โlawsuits were flawed โฃin their presentation rather than the underlying claims. Specifically, the panel found the lawsuits โincomplete due to โคa lack of necessary parties.
Whileโค the plaintiffs are responsible โฃfor coveringโ court costs,โข no fines were levied.Firman Akbar noted that plaintiffs retain theโข option to file an โappeal โ(cassation) withinโข 14โ days or submit a new lawsuit addressing the court’s concernsโฃ regarding โขcompleteness. “The new lawsuit must of course take into account the โJudge’s considerations in the โฃprevious case which declared the formal defect,” he stated.
The verdicts were delivered on November 19, โ2025, with all parties notified electronically. Firman Akbarโ concludedโ by expressingโ hope for โคa โฃpeaceful resolutionโ to the civil dispute, โemphasizing the importance of ensuring all parties receive their due rights.
