Zee Entertainment has asked the Delhi High Court to initiate contempt proceedings against JioStar, alleging the Reliance-Disney joint venture continued using Zee’s copyrighted music and songs after a May injunction. Zee’s latest filing, dated September 21, cites six instances between May and July and describes the conduct as wilful disobedience. The lawsuit began in April, when Zee sought $3 million in damages over 50 alleged copyright violations. The court has asked JioStar to respond, with the case due to be heard next in December. JioStar’s lawyers have previously called the alleged infringements unintentional and residual, while the company said it removed a substantial volume of Zee content after licensing agreements expired. The dispute is part of wider competition for content rights as India’s streaming and broadcasting market consolidates.
