The Bombay High Court grants a dynamic injunction aimed at preventing online piracy of the upcoming film “Ramayana: Rise of a Legend,” directing ISPs and digital platforms to block or remove infringing links after receiving notice. The order is meant to stop unauthorised recording, uploading, streaming, and related copyright infringement ahead of the film’s scheduled release.
The court acts on a suit filed by Godpower Media Private Limited, which says it holds copyright and exploitation rights for parts of the film, including its script, characters, recordings, and other associated material. Coverage highlights that the court finds a risk of unauthorised distribution, including concerns that trailers were secretly recorded and circulated online, and notes the matter will return to court on December 16.
While outlets broadly agree on the injunction’s purpose and the involvement of internet intermediaries, they differ in how much budget and rights detail they foreground. One report also emphasises the film’s scale in rupee terms, while another focuses more directly on the court’s piracy-prevention mechanism and timing around the November 5 release.
