Some news channels tend to air such programmes as “exclusive” or “live interview” with the management representatives of the organisations.

Madras HC bars Sun TV from using Sony Music songs without permission

MUMBAI: In a new order, the Madras High Court directed Sun TV Network not to use Sony Music songs without prior approval.

Sony Music had filed a petition in the HC alleging that Sun TV was using a number of its songs without licence.
The company had sent a cease and desist notice to Sun TV on 27 July last year after an exchange of letters between the two parties and meetings between their counsellors had failed to yield any result.

Sony Music also alleged that, in response to one of its letters, the southern broadcaster had stated that “it was the absolute copyright holder of films under the South Indian BSE 6.24% Cinematograph Films ”.

Terming the demonisation move of PM Modi-led government in New Delhi a “crazy speed bump” that hit businesses all round, 21st Century Fox CFO John Nallen, in a conversation with investment analysts at a conference last month, admitted that Star too got “affected” from last quarter 2016 to first quarter 2017 calendar year. He revealed at that time that Star India took a hit of almost $30 million, and the company expects that things would start looking up mid-March 2017 onwards.
