Delhi High Court cracks down on 160+ piracy sites, demands user data
The Delhi High Court just ordered over 160 websites blocked for streaming and downloading movies and shows without permission.
Big names like Warner Bros., Netflix, Apple, Disney, and Crunchyroll pushed for the ban.
The court also told domain registrars to suspend these sites and hand over subscriber info—like names, emails, and IP logs—within four weeks.
What the court decided (and what it means)
Justice Tejas Karia confirmed these companies have full rights over their content under Indian copyright law.
Sites can't host or share popular titles like Friends, Stranger Things (Seasons 1-4), Squid Game (Season 1), Batman, or Wonder Woman anymore.
The court's "Dynamic+" order means even mirror or new versions of these piracy sites will get blocked as the case continues.
All this aims to stop further copyright abuse—and help creators actually get paid for their work.
