Music Labels vs Influencers: Time for Creators to Level Up Their Legal Literacy
Why now? Music labels are cracking down on the unlicensed use of copyrighted tracks across Instagram and other social platforms.
What’s the issue?
When influencers post sponsored content on social media, they often use popular chartbusters to boost virality—without securing proper licenses. This practice is now under fire and could come with a serious price tag:
- Content takedowns
- Legal notices
- Hefty fines
To avoid this, influencers need to level up their legal literacy and start building a future-proof content strategy that respects copyright laws and protects their brand.

ASCI’s New Guidelines for Health and Finance Influencers
The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) has updated its influencer guidelines for 2025, with a special focus on the health and finance sectors.

Influencers now only need formal qualifications when offering technical or expert advice—think financial planning tips or medical guidance. But for general brand promotions, formal credentials are no longer mandatory.
This is huge news for influencers already working in the health and finance space—and for those dreaming of stepping into these growing sectors in India.

Only 8–10% of Indian Influencers Earn from Content—Can You Believe That?
If that headline surprised you, it’s time to take a closer look at what’s really happening in India’s influencer world—even in 2025.
India is booming in the influencer marketing space. Brands are actively promoting their products on social media through influencers. But here’s the catch—only 8–10% of Indian influencers are actually earning from their content.
According to a report, over 2 million influencers in India are driving trends and shaping consumer shopping behavior. Yet, a recent study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that just a small fraction—8 to 10%—are generating real income through content creation.
It’s time for influencers to build the right strategy when it comes to brand sponsorships and collaborations.
