Copyrights are territorial but both India and Pakistan are party to Berne Convention. I am not sure about the process here but isn't in these kind of conventions countries file a case to these particular authorities?
Just for knowledge purposes,,,
Yes, wrto permission - the agreement with Netflix will be for full show - it will be a license for a definite amount of time, the license will include everything in that show as telecasted and produced by owner of the show. When the definite amount of time is over, the license is deemed defunct and the rights go back to the owner, there is no question of seperation of works’ rights.
Netflix has no use for the OST, it doesn’t own any musical entity. But Hum owns Hum Music which is a musical entity.
Countries can be parties to Berne Convention, (btw Berne is outdated, now countries assess against TRIPS or bilateral trade agreements) but end of the day, the case will be filed by the one who claims infringement in the country of said ownership and/or in the country of infringement. The onus is on the alleged infringer to prove he has not infringed.
To date, there has been no case filed either in India or Pakistan, if yes, then there would have been press coverage for sure.
Now it is possible, that there have been other measures to tackle online infringment - which is negotiation or take down notice. If this is the case, then Geo definitely is involved and knows what’s going on since it’s one of the parties to the take down.
But then again, I do think this also would have gotten press coverage in India if Zee is involved. But it hasn’t. Which makes me think this has nothing to do with Zee. This is some other issue totally, and from historically, how shows by other Pak channels posted by their own accounts on YouTube have their music missing tells me this is some issue between YT and Pak channels.
