Before launching a large advertising campaign or sensitive content; immediately on receiving a violation notice or blocking decision; and when contracting with an influencer or agency — because content ownership and usage limits are what these contracts most often omit.
The media regulator hears publishing and advertising violations under its own procedures, with a statutory grievance route. Criminal aspects such as defamation go before the criminal courts, an entirely separate track.

It depends on the contract; without an express transfer clause, rights remain disputable even after fees are paid.
Yes, through the procedures and deadlines prescribed by the competent authority.
