This will come as good news to filmmakers who have fallen prey of piracy over the years, as the anti-piracy cell of the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) has decided to take matters into its own hands and suspend a number of domains like Torrents and Tamil Rockers that have been involved in the act. The move comes after newly released movies Vada Chennai and Sandakozhi 2 were targeted.
TFPC had on October 20 tweeted out a list of domain names that they have suspended and it includes tamilrockers.hn, tamildbox.online, goldminesmovies.online, tmvplay.fun, tmrockers.pw, and octloan.pw.

There have been many instances where movies have been leaked online on the first day of their release, costing filmmakers a huge loss. And suspension of the domain names could help prevent that.
About the movie Vada Chennai, it is a gangster-related film written and directed by Vetrimaaran, and stars actor Dhanush in the lead role, along with actors Samuthirakani, Aishwarya Rajesh and Andrea Jeremiah. It was produced as a trilogy by A. Subaskaran’s Lyca Productions and Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films with Vetrimaran’s Grass Root Film Company. It was released on October 17, and received positive reviews from the audience.
Movie Sandakozhi 2 on the other hand, is a thriller drama written and directed by N. Linguswamy. It stars actor Vishal, Keerthy Suresh and Rajkiran in the lead roles. It also stars Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in other pivotal roles. It was produced by Vishal, Dhaval Jayantilal Gada and Akshay Jayantilal Gada and was released on October 18.
Preventing piracy from happening has been a difficult task, and despite laws it still continues unchecked. The Copyright Act 1957 is applicable throughout India, and under the law, if you are convicted for the first offence, you could be jailed for six months or up to three years. You would also have to pay a hefty fine of Rs 50,000 or Rs 200,000, depending on the crime.
