MUMBAI: The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Yahoo Inc and its Indian subsidiary Yahoo Web Services (India) for infringement of copyright caused by unlicensed streaming of Super Cassettes Industries Limited’s (SCIL) copyright works on Yahoo‘s portal. The suit was filed by SCIL, owner of the music label, T-Series.
 
The High Court also passed an interim-injuction against Yahoo. It specifically ordered that Yahoo, its officers, agents, servants and representatives are restrained from reproducing, adapting, distributing or transmitting in any manner on their website or otherwise infringing in any manner the copyright of T-Series in films and songs and underlying copyright works without obtaining an appropriate license from T-Series.

Earlier this year, it was found that a number of music videos whereof the copyright and publishing rights are owned and controlled by T-Series were located on Yahoo‘s website.
 
Last year T-Series had filed a case against YouTube.com and its parent company Google for similar infringement. T-series was also successful in obtaining an interim restraint against YouTube and Google.

While the case for Google is coming up for hearing in July, the Yahoo case has been posted for September-end.
