PPL (People Performance Limited) has moved the Bombay High Court against Netflix’s popular show The Kapil Sharma Show. There are allegations that 3 songs have been used in Kapil Sharma’s show, for which the producers or makers have not taken any permission from him.
According to Mid Day report, a commercial petition has been filed by PPL against Kapil Sharma’s show in the Bombay High Court on December 12. Alleging violation of copyright rules, the petition says that between June and September, 3 licensed songs have been used without permission.
Allegation- These songs were used without permission
- M bole toh, movie Munnabhai MBBS
- Rama Ray, film Kaante
- Don’t let the morning break, film Desi Boys
The copyright of these songs is with PPL India. Using these songs commercially without permission is a violation of copyright law. Only license holders can use these songs.
PPL has demanded in the petition that the unlicensed use of copyrighted songs should be banned as soon as possible. The income earned from its illegal use should be disclosed and material related to the violation should be confiscated.
Before filing the petition on December 12, PPL India had issued a cease and desist notice to Netflix and the makers of The Kapil Sharma Show in early November, but received only evasive responses and the sound recordings are still being shown in the episodes.
It has also been said in the petition that both the makers of The Kapil Sharma Show and Netflix have not taken any permission for this. It is claimed that the show is first recorded in front of a live audience, at which time the songs are heard clearly. After this, these episodes are edited and streamed on Netflix.
The new season of the show is streaming on Netflix from December 20.
