2023:DHC:2796 20.5. The defendant no.1 merely provides its MPL platform to defendant no.2 to publish its game Striker and does not have any control over Striker. 20.6. The defendant no.1 has been operating OFS games on its platform MPL since 2019. 20.7. The use of names and images of sportspersons is a prevalent and prominent feature of all OFS games in India and abroad. Fantasy sports leagues are based entirely on the existence and real life performances of actual players and on-field events. By their very nature, fantasy games can only be played if all the relevant players are listed and available to choose from and capable of being identified on the platform. 20.8. The OFS offerings of defendant no.1 do not use any NFTs or similar technology. REPLY FILED ON BEHALF OF THE DEFENDANT NO.2 21. In the reply filed on behalf of the defendant no.2, the case set up by the defendant no.2 is as under: 21.1. The defendant no.2’s product, Striker only offers an OFS game, whereas the product of the plaintiffs, Rario, in addition, offers users the option to “buy” and “own” cricket moments. 21.2. The material used by the defendant no.2 for its fantasy game Striker is in the nature of facts and information available in public domain and is therefore, beyond the scope of personality rights of the players. Therefore, the plaintiffs have wrongly placed reliance on the exclusive license agreements with plaintiffs no.2 to 6.
