Zee takes Nykaa to court over Instagram reels music use; seeks Rs. 2 crores in damages

In a significant legal move, Zee Entertainment Enterprises has filed a case against Nykaa, alleging unauthorised use of its copyrighted music in promotional content on Instagram. The media giant is seeking damages amounting to Rs. 2 crores (approximately $210,000), according to court filings reviewed by Reuters. The lawsuit, submitted to the Delhi High Court on April 3, centres around the use of Zee-owned songs in short video clips posted by Nykaa on Instagram.

The case reportedly includes references to 12 such posts, along with supporting screenshots submitted as evidence. Although t...
