KRONOLOGI Bos Mie Gacoan Ditetapkan Tersangka, Diduga Putar Musik Tanpa Izin, Terkuak Sosok Pelapor

Suspect Named in Bali Music Copyright Case

Bali Police have named Gusti Ayu Sasi Ira—reportedly the owner/boss of “Bos Mi Gacoan”—as a suspect in a music copyright infringement case. The allegation is that music/song content was played in a restaurant without permission.

Overview of the Investigation

Key points from the investigation and reporting include:

• The case began with a complaint from the Indonesian Music Licensing Center (a collective management institution).
• The Bali Regional Police received the complaint on August 26, 2024.
• The matter progressed from investigation to raising of suspect status.

How the Police Estimated Alleged Losses

Bali Police Public Relations Head Senior Commissioner Arya Sandi said the police calculated potential losses/royalty value based on a Minister of Law and Human Rights Decree:

• HKI 2OT030102 (2016), which sets royalty rates for commercial users in the restaurant category.

Arya Sandi explained that the royalty calculation uses a formula involving:

• Number of seats per outlet × Rp 10,000 × 1 year
• This result is then multiplied by the number of outlets

According to the reporting, this method leads to losses/royalty claims in the billions of rupiah.

Scope of Suspects

Arya Sandi stated that the loss/royalty burden is attributed to the most responsible party (described in the subtitles as “Teratur”, the principal responsible party). He also emphasized that no other suspects would be added—only the Mi Gacoan boss.
