NEW DELHI, May 20 (Reuters) - Indian fashion-to-beauty retailer Nykaa has asked a New Delhi court to make Meta META.O a party to a copyright dispute filed by media firm Zee, court documents show, in a case seen as having implications for the commercial use of music on Instagram.

• Zee Entertainment ZEE.NS has sued Nykaa FSNE.NS for allegedly using its copyrighted songs in Instagram reels to promote its products, seeking $210,000 in damages, Reuters reported this month.

• In a non-public filing dated May 19 and seen by Reuters on Wednesday, Nykaa told the Delhi High Court that Meta must be included, as only it can "authoritatively state whether use" of music clips by Nykaa breached any licence terms.

• Zee argues its licensing agreement with Meta allows individuals to use its music in posts, but only for non-commercial purposes.

• Nykaa has also argued the dispute should first go to mediation, the filings show.

• Legal experts say the case could have wider implications, given Nykaa and Zee are both major listed companies in India.

• Meta, Nykaa and Zee did not respond to requests for comment.

• Music and film copyright disputes have been in focus in India. Zee has also sued a Reliance-Disney joint venture over alleged use of its music, while the Reliance-led venture has filed a case against Zee over alleged Bollywood film licensing breaches.

Adds deputy CEO's comments in paragraphs 2 and 4

By Aleef Jahan C S

May 19 (Reuters) - India's Zee Entertainment Enterprises ZEE.NS reported a quarterly loss on Tuesday, as clients tightening their advertising budgets following the Middle East crisis and higher overall expenses pressured the broadcaster's margins.

Advertising revenues for March were "severely impacted" by the ongoing Middle East conflict as advertisers held back spends near the quarter-end, Mukund Galgali, deputy CEO and chief financial officer, said in a post-earnings call.

Advertisements are typically the biggest source of revenue for broadcasters.

Zee's ad revenue, which accounts for nearly 40% of the total, fell 3.5% in the quarter. Without the Middle East war in the picture, ad revenue would have likely grown in the low single digits, Galgali added.

Zee, which runs channels such as ZeeTV and ZeeCinema as well as the streaming platform Zee5, reported a consolidated net loss of 1.02 billion rupees ($10.57 million) for the January-March period, from a profit of 1.88 billion rupees a year ago.

Expenses rose 19.6%, driven by a 17% increase in operational costs after Zee recognised higher charges related to movie and content rights, following changes in accounting estimates.

Advertising and publicity costs surged 44% due to higher spending on content launches, including the launch of children's vertical KidZ, as well as increased legal expenses.

Meanwhile, Zee's subscription revenue rose nearly 4%, supported by user growth in its digital platform and higher average revenue per user.

The company's overall revenue declined 5.4%.

Zee5's core losses narrowed to 84 million rupees from 753 million rupees a year ago, and revenue rose 71% to 4.7 billion rupees as the service logged an increase in the number of paying subscribers.

Peer Sun TV SUTV.NS will report its quarterly results on Thursday.

NEW DELHI, May 15 (Reuters) - India's JioStar, the TV and online entertainment venture of Reliance and Walt Disney, has initiated legal measures against rival Zee Entertainment for alleged unauthorised broadcast of Bollywood films it has the rights to, documents show.

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's JioStar is the No. 1 player in India's vibrant $30 billion media and entertainment industry, while Zee ZEE.NS, one of India's oldest media groups, is a smaller rival. They are already locked in a $1 billion arbitration in London over a collapsed cricket licensing deal in 2024.

In April, Zee sued JioStar in a Delhi court for unauthorised use of its copyrighted ‌music. In an apparent tit-for-tat move, JioStar filed a case on May 4 with a legal mediation committee challenging Zee's broadcast of some Bollywood movies last year even though their rights at the time vested with the Reliance-led entity, according to legal documents reviewed by Reuters.

JioStar alleges Zee telecast 12 distinct films around 20 times, including some blockbusters starring popular Bollywood film actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan.

Zee "is a habitual infringer", JioStar said in its 120-page plea, accusing Zee of continuing to "engage in the unauthorised broadcast and exploitation of the films".

The filing has not been reported previously.

The plea was filed at the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee, which provides a dispute resolution mechanism aimed at amicable settlements. If it is unresolved, JioStar could escalate the case to a court.

The documents said the committee has asked Zee to appear before it on May 25, adding that a failure to do so will be considered a refusal to participate in the mediation.

JioStar, formed from Reliance RELI.NS and Disney's DIS.N $8.5 billion ​merger of their Indian media assets in 2024, and Zee both declined to comment.

BIG PLAYERS, MANY LEGAL NOTICES

JioStar and Zee reach hundreds of millions of viewers through scores of TV channels and a streaming platform each. Reliance says JioStar has a 34.2% market share of India's TV market, while Zee says its share is at a four-year high of 18%.

In the music case filed in April, Zee is seeking $3 million from JioStar for allegedly using its music at least 50 times after certain licensing agreements expired.

Two sources with direct knowledge said JioStar is likely to seek upwards of 250 million rupees ($2.61 million) for alleged infringement of its rights to the Bollywood films, though a number is yet to be finalised.

The Bollywood film case reached the court committee stage after the two sides exchanged more than a dozen legal notices and letters starting February 2025, documents show.

The films involved include runaway hits like the 1975 Deewaar (Wall), starring Amitabh Bachchan, and Tridev (Trinity). Jio said it has the rights to these films and Zee allegedly broadcast them without having permission to do so.

Zee said the broadcasts were "inadvertent and unintentional" and it would exercise due caution, but declined any liability for damages that Reliance was seeking.

JioStar has also accused Zee of unauthorised broadcast of Aamir Khan starrer Dangal (Wrestling Bout). The 2016 movie, based on a real-life Indian wrestler, was a big Bollywood hit and won several awards.

Zee denied any wrongdoing, and argued it had permission from the production house to broadcast the movie.

Removes extraneous million next to $1 billion figure in paragraph 5

By Aditya Kalra

NEW DELHI, May 6 (Reuters) - India's Zee Entertainment ZEE.NS has sued the Reliance-Disney joint venture, the country's biggest entertainment company, alleging it used Zee's copyrighted music after licence agreements expired, court documents show.

Zee is seeking $3 million in damages, alleging unauthorised use and exploitation of works from its music division on the Reliance-Disney streaming platform and some of its TV channels, according to previously unreported court papers seen by Reuters.

The lawsuit, filed in New Delhi and reported by Reuters for the first time, marks the latest legal clash between Zee and the group formed from Reliance and Disney's $8.5 billion merger in 2024. The dispute underscores rising tensions over content rights as India's streaming and broadcast market consolidates.

Zee and JioStar, the name of the Reliance-Disney venture led by Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance RELI.NS, declined to comment.

Zee and Reliance are also locked in arbitration in London, where Reliance is seeking $1 billion in damages from Zee for quitting a cricket licensing deal in 2024. Zee denies any wrongdoing and is contesting the demand.

In its 1,800-page lawsuit filed on April 14, Zee alleges that Reliance-Disney used its music at least 50 times after certain licensing agreements expired in 2024 and 2025 and were not renewed due to disagreements over commercial terms.

"The illegal exploitation thereof amounted to copyright infringement," Zee said in the filing, asking the court to stop any ongoing infringements of its music works.

JioStar owns a library of thousands of shows and broadcast rights for top sporting events across its TV channels and its streaming app JioHotstar, India's biggest with about 500 million monthly users.

Zee, one of India's oldest media groups, also has several TV channels and a streaming app, and says it owns a catalogue of more than 19,450 songs in 17 languages.

RELIANCE REJECTED DAMAGES DEMAND

The case was briefly heard on Tuesday, when the judge asked JioStar to ensure there is no ongoing infringement of Zee's works on its platforms while the matter is heard, and to comply within 15 days, according to a source with direct knowledge.

The next hearing is scheduled for July 23.

The lawsuit comes amid Zee's broader push against what it says is abuse of its music catalogue. Reuters reported on Tuesday that Zee has sued fashion-to-beauty retailer Nykaa FSNE.NS, alleging it used Zee's copyrighted songs in Instagram reels to promote products, and is seeking $210,000 in damages.

In the case against JioStar, Zee says its music was infringed across music and dance shows that appeared on TV and the streaming platform.

Court papers show Zee and JioStar have held discussions in recent months and exchanged several letters and legal notices over the disputed use of music.

In December, JioStar told Zee it had "taken extensive steps to remove any infringing content across its portfolio", including legacy programming.

However, it said residual and passive archival hosting did not amount to infringement or unlawful communication, a position Zee disputes, the documents show.

JioStar "categorically rejects" the "coercive demands" for damages, it said in a letter dated March 16, adding that it "remains open to an amicable and commercially sensible solution".

Adds details and background of lawsuit, lawyer comment from paragraphs 8-12

By Aditya Kalra and Arpan Chaturvedi

NEW DELHI, May 5 (Reuters) - India's Zee Entertainment ZEE.NS has sued fashion-to-beauty retailer Nykaa FSNE.NS for allegedly using its copyrighted songs in Instagram reels to promote its products, seeking $210,000 in damages, previously unreported court documents show.

In an April 3 lawsuit filed in the Delhi High Court, Zee argued it has a licensing agreement with Meta Platforms META.O 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.

The lawsuit documents are not public but were reviewed by Reuters. Nykaa and Zee both declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Short-video formats have become a key advertising tool for brands on social media platforms like Meta's Instagram, often featuring popular Hindi songs as background music.

TWELVE FLAGGED LINKS TAKEN DOWN

Zee listed 12 Instagram reels in its lawsuit, along with screenshots, where Nykaa allegedly used Zee's licensed music to promote its products in social media posts.

In a brief hearing on Thursday, Nykaa's lawyer told the court that the 12 flagged links had been taken down, according to a court order which has not previously been reported.

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.

Zee and Nykaa are big listed players in their respective sectors in India, and legal experts said the case could have wider implications.

"Marketing departments often use content available on music libraries without reading the fine print of the Instagram terms" and the decision should "provide much-needed clarity," said Aditya Gupta, a partner at India's Ira Law.

The case will next be heard on May 26.

Jan 28 (Reuters) - India's New Delhi Television NDTV.NS posted its ninth-straight quarterly loss on Wednesday, as the news broadcaster's higher expenses continued to pressure margins.

The broadcaster, in which ports-to-energy conglomerate Adani Group owns a 69.02% stake, has been investing in newly launched TV channels and infrastructure, such as NDTV World and NDTV Marathi, alongside other programs and events, which has kept margins under pressure.

NDTV reported a 20.9% surge in expenses due to higher operating, production and marketing costs, outpacing a 13.3% increase in revenue from operations to 1.5 billion rupees, driven by its expanding channel portfolio.

Additionally, Indian consumer goods makers, who typically spend the most on television advertising, have reined in their spending due to muted demand amid rising costs of living.

Reliance group-controlled Network18 Media NEFI.NS, which owns both news and entertainment channels, flagged a weak advertising environment, saying TV news ad inventory demand fell more than 10% year-on-year during the quarter.

Zee Enterprises ZEE.NS, which runs entertainment channels, also reported a decline in ad revenue amid soft advertising conditions.

The company reported a loss of 802.5 million rupees ($8.72 million) in the October-December quarter, compared to a loss of 556.9 million rupees a year earlier.

NDTV did not disclose its ad revenue for the quarter.

The company's shares closed up 1.8% ahead of results on Wednesday.

Other rivals, TV Today Network TVTO.NS and Zee Media Corporation ZEEN.NS, are yet to report their results.

Adds details paragraph 3 onwards

Jan 22 (Reuters) - India's Zee Entertainment Enterprises ZEE.NS reported a 5.5% fall in quarterly profit on Thursday, as advertising revenue remained under pressure and higher programming costs continued to weigh on margins.

Broadcasters such as Zee and Network18 NEFI.NS, which get a large share of their revenue from advertising, have been under pressure over the past year due to weak marketing spends by major consumer companies and rising programming costs.

At the same time, the cost of distribution, including for big-ticket movie rights, has squeezed operating margins. This has made companies rely increasingly on subscription growth and film-related income to offset weakness in advertising.

Zee said its advertising revenue, which accounts for about 40% of the total, fell 9% from a year earlier to 8.51 billion rupees ($92.9 million) for the quarter ended December 31.

Subscription revenue grew about 7% year-on-year to 10.5 billion rupees.

The broadcaster's consolidated net profit fell to 1.55 billion rupees from 1.64 billion rupees a year earlier.
