Super Cassettes Industries (T-series) has filed a suit against Google and its video sharing site YouTube after the display on YouTube of content on which the Indian company says it holds copyright.
Super Cassettes Industries (T-series) is seeking a permanent injunction and damages on the dissemination and display on YouTube of the content and obtained an interim restraint order in the High Court in Delhi. This implies that Google which was not represented at the proceedings, has to remove the content until the final order is decided.
“We had communicated several times to YouTube and to Google both in India and the U.S. to remove the content that infringes our copyrights,” said Amit Sibal, lawyer for Super Cassettes.
Google was not immediately available for comment.
Google has in the past objected to provisions in India’s Information Technology Act 2000 which make intermediaries like ISPs (Internet service providers), Web site hosting companies, search engines, email services, and social networks, liable for their users’ content. Section 79 of the Act holds network service providers liable unless they can prove that the offense or contravention was committed without their knowledge or that they had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offense or contravention.
