Moser Baer in copyright trouble
A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhan has sought explanation from the multinational as to why a petition filed by it in the Delhi High Court should not be transferred to the Madras High Court, as sought by a Chennai-based firm, Movie Land.
Movie Land through its proprietor K P Ravichandran alleged that Moser Baer had been distributing many Tamil films through its network without its mandatory permission.
It also claimed that it had the exclusive copyright of many Tamil films from the respective copyright holders for distributing them in south India by making CDs and DVDs.
