Delhi High Court Halts Illegal T20 World Cup Streaming

The Delhi High Court has issued an order to prevent unauthorized streaming of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup following a lawsuit by Star India against rogue websites. The aim is to protect broadcasting rights and maintain copyright protection for ICC events.

In a decisive move to protect intellectual property, the Delhi High Court has issued a restraining order against the unauthorized streaming and broadcast of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. This interim measure comes in response to a lawsuit filed by Star India Private Limited, which holds exclusive media rights to major sporting events.

Justice Sanjeev Naurla's ruling targets several rogue websites suspected of illegally disseminating cricket matches. Citing past instances of unauthorized streaming, Star India expressed grave concerns over potential revenue loss due to these illegal activities. The court emphasized the necessity of quick action to uphold the plaintiff's investment in broadcasting rights.

The court's order mandates that defendants and anyone acting on their behalf are prohibited from communicating or streaming any part of the ICC events without authorization. It has also tasked Internet and Telecom Service Providers with blocking access to identified infringing websites. If more such sites emerge, Star India has been granted the liberty to notify relevant authorities for further action.
