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. Zee has argued that while it holds a licensing arrangement with Meta Platforms that permits individuals to use its music for non-commercial purposes, the same does not extend to brands using the tracks for advertising.

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

As reported by Live Law, the matter was heard by a single-judge bench presided over by Justice Arif Doctor, who ultimately closed the case after Kumar issued an unconditional apology in court.
