Indonesia outline
Passenger transport music in Indonesia
PP 56/2021 lists aircraft, bus, train, and ships as commercial public services that owe music royalties via LMKN — a different class from café seats or hotel room bands.
Three things to remember
- Number / status: Transport bands exist in the ministerial tariff tradition (per vehicle / capacity / day variants). Confirm the current LMKN transport class — do not reuse café per-seat rates.
- Who to pay: LMKN. Keep the invoice / licence in the premises’ name and address.
- Not this: A final invoice from Thon · legal advice · collecting for CMOs. Verify before you wire.

Class discipline
Indonesian law wins by picking the right PP 56 class. Wrong class = wrong number.
