JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The alleged piracy case of the BYON Combat Volume 5 live stream by the TikTok account @bambangmosaja via the Vidio platform, reported by content creator Cellos, has ended amicably through a restorative justice mechanism.
The Head of Public Relations of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Commissioner Pol Budi Hermanto, said that the case ended peacefully after Bambang, who had been named a suspect, agreed to pay compensation to Cellos as the victim.
“There was compensation from the suspect to the victim. The investigators did not interfere with the amount,” said Budi when contacted on Thursday (February 26, 2026).
“After the compensation was paid, the restorative justice mechanism was implemented,” he added.
Separately, Bambang stated that the compensation he paid amounted to IDR 1 billion, as agreed by both parties.
“I am also willing to compensate for material and non-material losses to BYON up to a maximum of IDR 1 billion,” said Bambang in a written statement on Thursday.
He admitted his guilt and expressed his apologies to Cellos and Vidio. He promised not to repeat his mistake.
“I am also aware that I have harmed the entire combat industry in Indonesia and am committed not to pirate again,” said Bambang.
Meanwhile, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisition & Partnership at Vidio, Dhini W. Prayago, emphasized that piracy can disrupt the content investment industry.
“The practice of piracy not only harms rights holders and platforms but also threatens the sustainability of content investment in the future,” said Dhini.
Cellos reported Bambang on August 21, 202. The case was elevated to the investigation stage on December 9, 2025, with Bambang being named a suspect.
It is known that Byon Combat is a promoter of entertainment martial arts (showbiz) initiated by Cellos.
