Indra Lesmana recently filed a lawsuit against two record labels, namely Union Artis and SMD Records. He accused the two labels of copyright infringement. The lawsuit was filed last Wednesday (16 March) in the Central Jakarta Commercial Court. 

According to the lawsuit Number 22/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Merek/2022/, Union Artis was accused of violating copyright as it failed to transfer back Indra Lesmana’s economic rights of his music.  The label also decided to transfer the economic rights of the jazz musician to SMD Record unilaterally. 

SMD Record is also named as the defendant. The lawsuit also accuses SMD Record of violating copyright as it distributes Indra's music creation without permission.

Through the lawsuit, Indra Lesmana is seeking material compensation worth Rp50 billion as well as  immaterial losses worth up to Rp10 billion. The case is currently in the stage of appointing a bailiff.
