ABSTRACT
The Delhi High Court in Star India Pvt. Ltd. v. Moviestrunk.com & Ors . tackled digital piracy head-on after Star India’s film Mission Mangal was leaked online by 67 rogue websites. With no response to takedown notices and release at risk, the court swiftly issued an ex parte injunction, blocking the sites and directing ISPs, registrars, and government bodies to act. The case sets a strong precedent for urgent copyright protection in the digital era.
