The Delhi High Court questioned Meta’s copyright-protection system after creator Mohit Kumar alleged that unauthorised users were exploiting its Rights Manager tool to falsely claim ownership of original videos. Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani directed Meta to disclose details of its Rights Manager policy, including eligibility requirements and criteria for granting access. Kumar, an artificial intelligence, e-commerce and business coach, claimed that individuals downloaded his original educational videos and subsequently used Rights Manager to assert copyright ownership, while he could not access the same protection system. The court’s remarks highlighted concerns over potential loopholes in Meta’s copyright safeguards. The proceedings seek greater transparency around access, verification and safeguards governing Meta’s copyright enforcement mechanisms. (PC: Unsplash)
