Fully Licensed Background Music for Indonesian Businesses
Permenkum 27/2025 named 23 categories of commercial premises that owe music royalties in Indonesia. MUSICVYBE covers all five commercial music rights in a single managed subscription.
Indonesia’s Framework Changed in 2025
Commercial music use in Indonesia is governed by Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright, Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021, and Minister of Law Regulation No. 27 of 2025. The 2025 regulation replaced an earlier implementing regulation that had been widely criticised for lacking technical certainty.
It strengthened LMKN’s role as the central collection body, separated analogue from digital commercial use, and defined which premises types are in scope. For operators, ambiguity about whether a hotel lobby or café playlist counts as commercial use has largely gone.
Permenkum 27/2025 places the royalty obligation on the event organiser or the business owner — not the performer, and not the supplier. The establishment operating the premises is the responsible party, and that responsibility does not transfer through a subscription agreement.
Five Rights, Not One
Commercial music engages five separate rights:
- 1. Public performance of the composition
- 2. Public performance of the sound recording
- 3. Reproduction of the sound recording
- 4. Recording and master rights
- 5. Publishing rights for commercial use
Collective management through LMKN addresses the first two. MUSICVYBE covers all five in one subscription.
A Managed Service, Not Software
MUSICVYBE is fully managed. There is no dashboard, no playlist building, and nothing for your team to schedule. Programming is handled by unnamed specialists with more than twenty years of curation experience across hospitality, retail and financial environments.
Zone programming, dayparting, seasonal refresh and compliance are handled on your behalf. Background music is treated as an operational system rather than a background detail.
Why Direct Licensing Matters
MUSICVYBE holds direct licences covering all five commercial music rights, valid in Indonesia and internationally. Because the catalogue sits outside LMKN and LMK repertoire, our position is that no separate collective licence is required for the music we deliver.
Fairmont Singapore and Swissotel The Stamford moved to this model and eliminated over SGD 43,000 in annual licensing cost across their properties, while removing multi-agreement administration entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Indonesian businesses need music licensing?+
Permenkum 27/2025 defines 23 categories of analogue commercial use, including accommodation facilities, food and beverage establishments, shopping centres, sports and fitness facilities, office buildings and cinemas.
Who is responsible for royalty payment?+
The event organiser or business owner. The regulation states this directly, and it was reinforced by the Supreme Court in the Agnez Mo and Ari Bias dispute.
Can we use a consumer streaming service in our venue?+
No. Consumer services restrict use to personal, non-commercial contexts in their terms, and that restriction applies regardless of any royalty paid to a collecting society.
Does MUSICVYBE replace an LMKN licence?+
For the music we deliver, our position is that it does: the catalogue is directly licensed across all five rights and is not part of LMKN or LMK repertoire. Music from other sources is assessed separately.
