The Delhi High Court has issued a summons to the Instagram handle ‘People of India’ following a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by the popular storytelling platform ‘Humans of Bombay’ (Humans of Bombay Stories Pvt Ltd v. POI Social Media Pvt Ltd).
The court’s move comes as ‘Humans of Bombay’ alleges that ‘People of India’ has infringed upon its copyrighted content. The storytelling platform is known for its unique approach to capturing the lives and stories of everyday people in Bombay, and it claims that ‘People of India’ has violated its intellectual property rights by replicating its content style and presentation.
While the details of the lawsuit are yet to be fully disclosed, the summons from the Delhi High Court marks a significant step in the ongoing battle over copyrighted content in the digital age. The case brings into focus the fine line between inspiration and infringement, particularly on social media platforms where content is easily shared and replicated.
