Advocate Shivam Parashar answered
Yadi aapka YouTube content original hai aur kisi ne use bina permission re-upload ya reuse kiya hai, to aap copyright infringement ka claim kar sakte hain.Aap YouTube par Copyright Takedown Notice file kar sakte hain. Agar aapke paas original video files, upload dates, scripts, ya creation proof hai, to aapka claim strong rahega. YouTube aksar aise cases mein infringing content hata deta hai.Agar samne wala repeat infringement karta hai, to aap legal notice bhej sakte hain aur zarurat pade to civil remedy (injunction + damages) bhi available hoti hai. Proof hona sabse important factor hota hai—jo aapke case mein maujood hai.

Q: Legal clarity on LLP corporate lending in Maharashtra

I am forming an LLP in Maharashtra to give corporate short-term working capital and credit lines only to Pvt Ltd and LLP companies using only partner funds. We will not take public deposits or lend to individuals. Please confirm if any Money-Lender licence is required under Maharashtra law, whether any RBI or SEBI approval is needed, and whether we can legally charge interest, fees and enforce loan agreements in court.

Advocate Shivam Parashar answered
An LLP can give loans from its own or partner funds without RBI approval, as long as it is not lending to the public and the activity is allowed under the LLP Agreement. Charging interest and fees is permitted, and properly stamped loan agreements are enforceable in court. RBI issues arise only if lending becomes a regular or public-facing business

Q: Contract for hired Interns for Digital Content creation

I am a startup owner of a clothing brand selling on e-coms only. I would like to draft a contract for a group of interns I hired to build digital content for promotion and marketing of my brand on social media platforms. My concern revolves around the possibility that the interns might use AI or existing content from the web to create content for my brand. I require some help to understand all the points that needs to be captured in a contract to avoid any legal/ IP infringement consequences.

Advocate Shivam Parashar answered
When interns and freelancers create content, IP ownership does not automatically transfer to the brand unless it’s clearly assigned in writing. This becomes a serious issue later—during funding, partnerships, or platform audits—when gaps are discovered.A strong contract should lock in full IP ownership, cover use of online/AI-generated content, and include non-infringement and confidentiality clauses. Most startups realise this too late, when fixing IP costs far more.If you plan to scale the brand, it’s best to secure IP ownership at the onboarding stage, not after problems surface.
