Viral DRM, a digital rights management company, along with storm-chasers/photographers/videographers like WX Chasing, Live Storms Media, Hank Schyma and Brian Enfinger, sued a host of Indian news platforms in a California court.
These include India TV, TV9, News Nation, Zee News, Times Now Navbharat and The Quint Hindi, among others.
The allegation against these channels is that in the past few years, they ran news programs relating to various natural disasters, heavy snowfall in the US, New York floods, the Chinese balloon incident as well as the Israel-Hamas war using videos/photos shot by storm-chasers and other content creators, without authorisation and without giving due credit.
