Netflix series IC-814: The Kandahar Hijack has once again fallen into a controversy, this time for allegedly violating Copyright law by using licensed content of Asian News International (ANI).
"They have used copyright archival footage of ANI without licence, they have also used the (ANI) trademark," Sidhant Kumar, counsel for ANI, said.
"Since the series has come into such criticism, our trademark and brandname is being tarnished," Kumar said, adding that ANI wants Netflix to take down four episodes where its content has been used.
The Delhi High Court had agreed to hear the case and sought the response of Netflix, he said.
