Indian e-commerce company Nykaa wants Meta Platforms included in a copyright infringement case filed by media company Zee Entertainment.

The dispute centers on Nykaa's alleged use of copyrighted music in promotional Instagram Reels. Zee is seeking $210,000 in damages.

Nykaa's Argument for Meta's Inclusion

Nykaa stated in a court filing that Meta, the parent company of Instagram, is crucial for resolving the copyright issue. The fashion retailer believes only Meta can clearly explain if Nykaa's promotional use of music violated music licensing agreements with creators. This move could influence how music licensing is handled on social media platforms.

Mediation and Industry Impact

Nykaa also suggested mediation to settle the dispute before further court action. The case is significant because both Nykaa and Zee Entertainment are publicly traded companies in India. Analysts believe the outcome could significantly affect businesses that use copyrighted music for marketing on platforms like Instagram. Representatives for Nykaa, Zee, and Meta have not yet commented.
