"Zee argued it has a licensing agreement with Meta Platforms that allows individuals to use its music in Instagram posts for non-commercial use, but said Nykaa had used several of Zee's copyrighted songs in reels to promote products to millions of followers."
"Nykaa allegedly used the music 'without securing any permissions/authorisations from' Zee, according to the over 900-page lawsuit."
"Zee has asked the court to award 20 million rupees ($209,742) as compensation over Nykaa's illegal use of its music, the lawsuit said."
"Legal experts said the case could have wider implications, as marketing departments often use content available on music libraries without reading the fine print of the Instagram terms."
Zee Entertainment filed a lawsuit against Nykaa in the Delhi High Court for allegedly using its copyrighted songs in Instagram reels without permission. Zee claims it has a licensing agreement with Meta for non-commercial use of its music. The lawsuit includes 12 flagged Instagram reels where Nykaa promoted products using Zee's music. Nykaa's lawyer stated that the flagged links have been removed. Zee seeks 20 million rupees in damages, and the case may have broader implications for content usage in marketing.
