Copyright के कारण हो जाएंगे Youtubers के चैनल बंद? | News that Matters

A chilling wave of fear is sweeping across India’s digital content creation community. At the center of this storm is a copyright controversy involving ANI, one of India’s largest news agencies, and several independent YouTube creators. Allegations suggest that ANI is issuing copyright strikes for using even 4–6 seconds of their footage, forcing creators into silence or financial settlements. But is this protection of rights, or an attack on independent journalism? In this episode of News that Matters, Neeraj explores the ANI vs Crater controversy — a symbol of the growing tension between traditional media giants and independent digital voices. While ANI defends its actions citing India’s Copyright Act, creators argue they are being unfairly targeted, especially under “Fair Use” exceptions like news reporting, critique, and education — legally protected under Section 52 of the Act.
