The goal was to protect the movie from online piracy following its premiere last Friday. Īfter obtaining certification for its new movie 'Vikram Vedha' last Monday, Reliance Entertainment filed an injunction application the next day.
From there, the site-blocking train gathered steam and hasn't looked back. Having obtained one injunction, to the surprise of no one Reliance Entertainment immediately sought and obtained another. In an early case, movie company Reliance Entertainment went to court to protect the movie 'Singham' and came away with an order that compelled ISPs to temporarily block sites including Megaupload, Megavideo, Rapidshare, Putlocker, Hotfile and Fileserve. India began blocking pirate sites in 2011 but the public had no idea it was coming. In advance of the movie 'Vikram Vedha' premiering in cinemas last Friday, a judge handed down an injunction that ordered 40 internet service providers to proactively and immediately block an unprecedented 13,445 sites. An anonymous reader quotes a report from TorrentFreak: A court in India has granted what appears to be the most aggressive site-blocking injunction in the history of copyright law.
