The civil lawsuit of songwriter Ari Bias against Agnes Monica or Agnez Mo was granted by a judge at the Jakarta Commercial Court. Agnez Mo had to pay Ari a fine of IDR 1.5 billion. A fine of IDR 1.5 billion must be paid because Agnez Mo was found guilty of violating the Copyright Law, not having permission to sing the song 'Bilang Saja' created by Ari Bias, while performing at three different events. Ari Bias emphasized that Agnez Mo had not provided any response regarding the decision of the Jakarta Commercial Court, which asked him to pay compensation of IDR 1.5 billion to Ari.[1]

In its decision, the Panel of Judges considered two main things in the main case. First, the legal ownership of the copyright for the song "Bilang Saja" by Ari Bias. Second, commercial use of songs without permission by Agnes Monica. Based on the evidence presented, including the Creation Registration Letter from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), the Judge stated that Ari Bias was the creator and copyright holder of the song "Bilang Saja". In addition, video evidence and concert posters show that Agnes Monica has performed the song in three performances without permission from Ari Bias. For this reason, the Panel of Judges partially granted Ari Bias' lawsuit and decided that the use of the song "Bilang Saja" by Agnes Monica without permission violated Article 9 paragraphs (2) and (3) of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. This article requires anyone who uses a work commercially to obtain permission from the creator or copyright holder.[2] Until it was published, this case still did not have permanent legal force.

Electronic BPKB (Motor Vehicle Owner's Book) Has Been Launched in Indonesia

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Scammed by a Itinerant Street Vendor", "Deceived by Buying Durian Online", you may read also "Case of Ordering 100 Kg Durian" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Electronic BPKB (Motor Vehicle Owner's Book) Has Been Launched in Indonesia'.

BPKB (Motor Vehicle Owner's Book) will be more sophisticated because it is electronic. The shape has also changed, if it was originally a book with a fairly wide size, it is now smaller. If we pay attention, its current shape resembles a passport. Its sophistication is also similar to an electronic passport, namely it is equipped with a chip to store vehicle data. "In the past, the BPKB had paper that was quite wide. Later, it was small like a passport. There was a chip that contained complete vehicle data. If it was lost, we could access it easily so it could be printed again," explained Head of the BPKB Sub-Directorate, Directorate of Police Traffic Corps, Commissioner Pol. Sumardji.[1]

Even though the form and technology involved are more sophisticated, there has been no change regarding costs. For information, the cost of issuing a new BPKB still refers to Government Regulation (PP) no. 76 of 2020 concerning Types and Rates of PNBP Applicable to the National Police. It says that the cost of issuing a BPKB or changing ownership will be IDR 225 thousand for a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorized vehicle. Meanwhile, for four-wheeled vehicles, the cost of issuing a new one and changing ownership is IDR 375 thousand. "There has been no change in costs," said Sumardji.[2]

The existence of electronic BPKB will make things easier for vehicle owners. The electronic BPKB contains the complete identity of the vehicle owner. Implementing electronic BPKB will also make the vehicle mutation process faster. It is even claimed that the process takes no more than one day. As is known, the process of mutation or duplication of lost BPKB must take months. The electronic BPKB is integrated with several things such as vehicle history, vehicle data, and can be connected to NFC on a smartphone. However, please note that this electronic BPKB will only come into effect in March 2025, specifically for new cars. Meanwhile, it is not yet known when exactly two-wheeled vehicles will be implemented because it adjusts to the existing budget.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Once upon a time there was a durian fan named Feng who confided in himself and felt he had been cheated by a durian seller. Feng, who lives in Geylang Bahru, Singapore, told of his experience of being offered by a itinerant street vendor.[1]

Finally Feng bought durian because the price was quite reasonable. The seller was offering durian at a price of 18 SGD (IDR. 215,000) per kilogram. Feng initially intended to only buy two durians, but the seller persuaded him and said he would get one free durian if he bought four durians.[2]

In total, Feng bought durian weighing 19.8 kg or the equivalent of SGD 356 (IDR 4.3 million). However, what made Feng even more disappointed was the quality and taste of the durian he received. The free durian that was used as a bonus turned out to be poor quality durian with an unpleasant taste that couldn't even be eaten.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Fraud can happen anywhere and at any time, even through online durian sites that don't seem suspicious. This unfortunate incident happened to a woman from Singapore named Xu. He was cheated out of SGD 53,780 (IDR. 596 million) when he wanted to buy durian on an online site.[1]

This 50 year old woman initially saw a durian advertisement on Facebook. At that time he was tempted to buy Musang King durian at a price of SGD 6 (IDR. 66,527) which was considered very cheap. He was told to send money using the application requested by the seller.[2]

Because the application had an error, Xu entered it several times. But the employee reported that the payment had not been successful and told him to go to the bank. Not long after he made another transaction to buy food, Xu was surprised to find a withdrawal of SGD 53,780 (IDR. 596 million).[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Home of Durian is a famous durian shop in Singapore. Recently they opened a durian auction for charity at the Kidney Dialysis Foundation organization. But these good intentions did not turn out to be smooth. A few days before the charity auction started, a consumer ordered 100 kg of durian from the Home of Durian.[1]

The consumer immediately contacted the shop owner named Samuel Chen. Due to the abundance of durian orders, Samuel finally prepared hundreds of durians specifically for these consumers. Unfortunately, on the day of the auction, the customer disappeared without a word and did not pay for his durian order.[2]

Because durian fruit rots quickly, Samuel lost up to SGD 2,000 (IDR. 29.3 million). This is the first time Chen has been cheated in the durian business.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

This fraud case began when a woman named Lie from Singapore saw an online advertisement on Facebook. The 52 year old woman was tempted by the offer of a tour package called 'GD Travel & Tour', which aimed at the durian plantation in Kulai, Malaysia.[1]

The price is only SGD 28 (IDR. 337,300). He immediately contacted the tour party on Facebook, then continued on WhatsApp and Lie was told to download an application called EG Store on his cellphone.[2]

In the end, Lie didn't buy the ticket because his friends couldn't participate. However, a week later Lie realized that his account had been frozen because there had been a large money transaction to America. The money missing from his account was SGD 110,000 (IDR. 1.3 billion). Even though the money was his savings to marry his son in 2024.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
