About the Conference

OTT platforms have been a growing trend in the entertainment industry in recent years. Over-the-top (‘OTT’) media platform is one such streaming service that delivers content directly to its consumers over the web.

In India, there is a growing demand for the services of OTT platforms due to an unprecedented increase in the number of persons with access to internet services and smart phones. Various OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Alt Balaji, etc. have also proliferated their services in the Indian market. However, there is an absence of a specific legislation for OTT services to deal with the legal issues related to these OTT platforms in India.

With mounting popularity/viewership and the potential to permeate every nook and corner in the country which vaunts workable internet connectivity, OTT platforms have been in the crosshairs of the government for some time now with the government voicing concerns around unfiltered content and lack of regulation.

The OTT platforms will be required to follow the basic laws of the land while streaming content. Many of the OTT platforms signed a self-regulatory code, the ‘Code of Best Practices for Online Curated Content Providers’ which was released by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI).

This code works towards a framework of open disclosure by the platforms. But that doesn’t solve may other problems, the need for an unbiased regulatory body is a must.

The Internet Content Streaming cannot be controlled by a self-regulatory body. The body shall distinguish responsible content for regulation. The OTT platforms and the Government shall work together on this and end this issue once and for all.

At this point of time OTT platform is at a nascent stage across the globe. India needs to make sure that they cope up with the needs of the people while making legislation.
