Editing Indonesia Raya (section)

=== Distribution ===
Following the Second Youth Congress, the text of ''Indonesia'' was distributed by many political and student organisations. The press also played a key role in the publication of the song. On 7 November 1928, the ''Soeloeh Ra'jat Indonesia'' daily published the words to the song. This was followed by the ''Sin Po'' Chinese weekly on 10 November.<ref>{{Harvnb|Panitia Penyusun Naskah Brosur Lagu Kebangsaan Indonesia Raya|1972|p=37}}</ref> In 1929, Wage Rudolf Supratman changed the title of his song to "Indonesia Raya" and appended the phrase ''"national anthem of Indonesia"'' below it, but the text of the song did not change. Soepratman personally printed and distributed copies of the song with its new title through pamphlets. All one thousand copies of the manuscript were sold within a short amount of time to his friends and family.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sularto|1982|p=28}}</ref>

That same year, the prominent Indonesian businessman and record executive [[Tio Tek Hong]] contacted Supratman; the two agreed to issue the first records of the anthem, with Supratman retaining copyright over it.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sularto|1982|p=28}}</ref><ref name="Sakrie (2015)">{{cite book |last1=Sakrie |first1=Denny |title=100 Tahun Musik Indonesia |date=1 March 2015 |publisher=GagasMedia |location=Jakarta |isbn=978-979-780-785-6 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l3zwBgAAQBAJ&dq=%22tio+tek+hong%22&pg=PA5 |access-date=8 March 2022 |language=id}}</ref> The new records were extremely popular, but in 1930 the Dutch colonial authorities placed a ban on the song and confiscated all remaining unsold records.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sularto|1982|p=28}}</ref>

A businessman friend of his, [[Yo Kim Tjan]], also expressed interest in recording "Indonesia Raya". With Soepratman's consent, Yo created a copy of the song on a [[gramophone record]] overseas to obtain the best sound quality with the intention of bringing the copy back to Indonesia. However, before Yo was able to do so, Dutch colonial authorities had imposed a ban on the song. Yo was unable to bring the original back but was able to bring home a copy. According to Yo, Soepratman had also given him the rights to sell record copies of "Indonesia Raya" through his store Toko Populair.<ref>{{Harvnb|Panitia Penyusun Naskah Brosur Lagu Kebangsaan Indonesia Raya|1972|p=38}}</ref>
