Copyright
Board,
in
an
order
dated
25.08.2010,
had
fixed
the
rate
of
royalty
between
PPL
and
6
FM
radio
broadcasters.
But
certain
misconceptions
and
rumours
in
the
industry
hinted
that
the
same
royalty
shall
be
applied
for
the
entire
industry
including
Super
Cassettes
Industries
Limited
(T-SERIES).
Therefore
in
a
writ
petition
filed
by
Super
Cassettes
Industries
Limited
(T-SERIES)
against
the
order
passed
on
25.08.2010
clarified
the
situation
as
the
Hon'ble
High
Court
of
Delhi
has
on
15.09.2010
in
its
interim
order
clarified
that
the
rates
fixed
by
the
Copyright
Board
shall
not
apply
to
Super
Cassettes
Industries
Limited
(T-SERIES).
Therefore
this
squashes
all
rumours
that
the
copyright
order
passed
by
Copyright
Board
is
only
against
PPL
and
not
against
T-Series
or
any
other
copyright
owner.
T-Series-MD,
Mr
Bhushan
Kumar,
made
a
public
statement
regarding
the
court's
order
saying,
"We
at
Super
Cassettes
Industries
are
pleased
with
the
clarification
given
by
the
Hon'ble
High
Court
of
Delhi
in
its
interim
order.
We
have
granted
voluntary
license
to
(almost)
all
broadcasters
in
India.
We
are
glad
that
our
voluntary
licenses
will
not
get
disturbed
by
the
order
in
a
proceeding
where
we
were
not
even
a
party."
