Zee seeks action against Reliance-Disney's JioStar over copyright breach
Zee Entertainment has asked the Delhi High Court to start contempt proceedings against JioStar. Zee says the Reliance-Disney venture kept using its music and songs even after a court order barred it. JioStar has been asked to reply, and the next hearing is in December. Such disputes are rising as India's media market consolidates. If you license music or video, keep your rights paperwork current.

- In May, the Delhi High Court ordered JioStar not to use, publish, broadcast, stream or upload any of Zee's licensed works.
- Zee's case began in April, when it sought $3 million in damages over 50 alleged copyright violations involving content from its music division.
