Ironically women's cricket matches aka non commercial interests weren't national importance until couple of months back.

There is something called law of land. You can call it dadagiri or whatever. Amazon prime is not paying from its own pocket or doing charity.

It's not OTT exclusive as it was already being shared on DD Freedish.

They are not exclusive as they are forced to share. But apv claims to be exclusive in their promotion.

And the freeloader argument still stands even if there's a law. What if these private broadcasters stop procuring these premium rights altogether. Will the government step in and purchase the rights for the sake of 'national interest'? I guess the answer is no. Why not make such laws like those in the UK and Australia, where it is mandatory to broadcast sporting events Free to Air? Let DD Bid for free to air rights like BBC and Channel 7 do in the UK and Australia respectively?

Calling existing law as freeloading while demanding another law for mandatory fta? Anyway i am okay with both case, but will be consistent in not calling freeloader to fta model too

Your point of holding TV rights and still not broadcasting would be valid if Prime owned a TV Channel in India. They may have entered into private negotitiations but may not have been able to secure a justifiable amount.

Corroborated my point as valid. It is deliberate attempt to tv blackout but failed thanks to law.

As per notification of govt, it is not. I guess it is of state importance

Another law for mandatory FTA so that the pay broadcaster re-evaluates the price he is going to pay while the FTA broadcaster also pays the rightful amount to the host. This model has been prevelant for so many years and successfull in the countries like UK & Australia. The viewer also gets a choice to choose where to watch.
