I understood that TRAI order will be applicable, but didn't understand legal terms. So, sought help of ChatGPT. Here's a summary:
The Supreme Court ruled that copyright laws protect the interests of broadcasters regarding their original work and how they distribute it, while the TRAI Act focuses on regulating broadcasting services to ensure fairness for both broadcasters and consumers. The Court found that the TRAI's regulations do not infringe on copyright rights but aim to create a balanced environment for all parties involved.
The remaining issue challenged was a specific clause from a recent tariff order. The Court noted that broadcasters have a choice about whether to provide their channels to a public platform (DD Free Dish) and that not doing so doesn't violate their rights. Additionally, making more channels available could actually help spread information, rather than limit it.
The claim that the regulations treated broadcasters unfairly compared to a government body (Prasar Bharati) was also rejected, as TRAI's goal is to create equal opportunities for all. Therefore, the Court dismissed the petition, stating it wasn't valid for them to consider since there are other ways for broadcasters to challenge such regulations.
