MUMBAI:
Super Cassettes Industries (T-Series) has filed a criminal
complaint against Triveni Media, which runs the news and infotainment
channel Voice of India, for defaulting on payment due to it.
T-Series,
which only last week sorted matters with Percept which it
had claimed defaulted on payments for 8X10 Tasveer,
took Triveni Media to court saying that a cheque of Rs 1.4
million (Rs 13,99,320) issued by the company had been dishonoured.
Triveni
had issued the cheque as part payment of license fee for use of copyrighted songs
on its channel, but the instrument was dishonoured, T-Series claims.
The
Patiala House Court, New Delhi will hear the case on 2 April
2009.
The
music company has been stringently monitoring the use of its copyrighted music
by telelvision channels, FM stations and other avenues. In
January 2009, T-Series managed to get an injunction order against Asianet Communications
Ltd from a Delhi court, which it claimed had been using T-Series copyrighted music
on its popular reality show. In
December 2008, the label got a court injunction against Marathi channel Mi Marathi
for using copyrighted songs without proper license fees. |
