The Delhi High Court has protected Jackie Shroff’s rights, preventing unauthorized use of his identity by e-commerce, AI, and social media entities. The court restricted the use of Shroff’s name, image, and likeness without consent. The court also examined a YouTube video featuring Shroff and considered the context of the term “Thug Life.” The court emphasized the importance of artistic expression and declined to issue an interim injunction against the content creator.
Justice Anish Dayal of the Delhi High Court expressed concerns about the challenges posed by AI in the legal system, particularly regarding the credibility of evidence. He noted the establishment of the Intellectual Property (IP) division and its success in handling IP cases, reducing backlogs, and receiving recognition from the parliamentary committee.
