medcom.id, Jakarta: Then boasting that they are against piracy, Maliq & D'Essentials is more focusing on maintaining their works' quality.
"We believe that as long as a piece is made maximally, listeners would appreciate them accordingly. Those who are made half-heartedly are the ones easy to be pirated," said the drummer, Widi Puradiredja, when conversing with Metrotvnews.com, in Senayan, Jakarta, Saturday evening (8/29/2015).
Even though piracy is detrimental to musicians, the singer of 'Setapak Sriwedari' tries to take the positive side on free download websites.
"In the end, there are lots of musicians using the free downloads to promote their songs," he added.
The solution of music piracy is still in the dark. The data of the Indonesian Recording Industry Association (Asiri) stated that there are 237 million songs illegally downloaded per month, or seven million songs per day, 330,000 songs per hour, 5,000 songs per minute and 92 songs per second.
In short, there are 2.8 billion songs downloaded illegally within a year.
