The Madras High Court on Thursday restrained internet service providers (ISPs) and others from infringing at the producer's copyright by communicating, duplicating or downloading of Dhanush-starrer '3' in any manner without proper license.
Granting the interim injunction on a civil suit by R K Productions Private Limited, Justice KBK Vasuki ordered notice to the respondents and posted the applying for further hearing on April 18. The Judge also permitted the producer to publish the injunction order in Tamil and English newspapers to make the order known to all concerned.
Plaintiff R K Productions contended the movie was produced on the cheap of Rs 22 crore. The film, famous for 'Kolaveri Di' song, went directly to become a world sensation.
The telecommunication service providers, Internet service and cable TV providers haven't entered into any license agreement with the applicant on communication of the applicant's film.
The producer apprehended that as and when its film was released in theatres, acts of piracy would also commence. Such acts would cause serious loss to the applicant's business.
