Sundar Pichai is in trouble: an FIR lodged against google CEO and filmmaker sunil Darshan alleges copyright infringement.
Recently, google CEO Sundar Pichai, who received the country's third-highest civilian award, the Padma Bhushan, this year, seems to be in trouble now.
In fact, an FIR has been lodged against Sundar Pichai under the Copyright Act in Mumbai. Film director sunil Darshan lodged an FIR against Sundar Pichai and five other executives of the company on the directions of a maharashtra court.
In his complaint, the film director said that google had uploaded his film Ek Hasina Thi Ek Deewana Tha on YouTube without his copyright. He alleged that many users on YouTube were using his exclusive content after the film was uploaded, causing him a huge loss.
In such a situation, film-maker sunil Darshan has filed a complaint under sections 51, 63, and 59 of the Copyright Act at the Andheri east MIDC police station while approaching the court in the copyright matter.
Speaking to a website about the matter, sunil Darshan said that my film, which I have not uploaded anywhere nor sold to anyone in the world, has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. I have been fighting a war against YouTube for many years, but till now I have not received any response.
He further said that due to the upload of the film on YouTube, it has been viewed millions of times, which is causing me a huge loss. I kept requesting google to remove this movie from my platform and kept wandering from door to door. But in the end, with no response, I was left with no option and had to approach the court.
Sunil Darshan has been a well-known film director of Bollywood. In the year 2017, his last film Ek Hasina Thi Ek Deewana was released. Darshan has alleged about this film that it was uploaded on YouTube without his knowledge.
On the other hand, if we talk about Sundar Pichai, on the eve of Republic Day, the central government had announced the Padma awards. Under this, a total of 128 people were selected for the Padma Awards, out of which 4 people were honoured with Padma Vibhushan, 17 for Padma bhushan and 107 for Padma Shri.
During this, google CEO Sundar Pichai and microsoft CEO satya Nadella were selected for the Padma Bhushan.
