exclusive right owner for several works broadcasted on its STAR channels.
Plaintiff, along with its affiliates, is the owner of an extensive portfolio of
more than 70 channels in over nine languages (all channels owned and/or
distributed by Plaintiff are hereinafter collectively referred to as “STAR
Channels”). Plaintiff owns and operates the online audio-visual streaming
platform and website, ‘www.hotstar.com’, and the mobile application,
‘Disney+ Hotstar’, formerly known as ‘Hotstar’ (hereinafter collectively
referred to as “Disney+ Hotstar”). With the widest range of content in India,
Disney+ Hotstar offers over 100,000 hours of TV shows and movies across
8 languages, Disney+ originals, latest American shows, blockbuster
Hollywood movies and content from international studios, exclusive new
content from the Hotstar Specials label, regional and national news, and
coverage of every major global sporting event.

virtue of provision of Section 14(d) of the Copyright Act, 1957 including
inter alia the rights to publicly exhibit and communicate the said content
through any medium or mode, including on STAR Channels or Disney+
Hotstar. It is pleaded that by virtue of the exclusive media rights granted to
the Plaintiff, they broadcast, telecast and/or communicate to the public, its
Original Shows / Original Content and the STAR Channels on the digital
platform, Disney+ Hotstar, owned by the Plaintiff.
28.
It is contended that defendants no. 1 to 3, (“defendant websites and
apps”) are online locations and mobile applications whose purpose is to
communicate, make available for viewing and providing access to content of
the Plaintiff free of cost (or at minimal subscription) and without any

and have no permission or authorisation to reproduce, store, transmit,
communicate, make available for viewing or provide access to any of the
Plaintiff’s
Content. It
is
also
submitted
that
most
of the
content
communicated through these Rogue Apps does not belong to them. It is also
contended that the download, distribution and use of these Android based
Rogue Apps, occurs through an .APK (“Android Package Kit” / “Android
Application Package”).
The primary intent and purpose of these Rogue
Apps is to exploit various copyright-protected works, of the Plaintiff’s
content and to provide an alternative to legitimate sources to the user, such
that the user does not have to pay for enjoying the copyright-protected
works. An illustrative list of illegal content made available by the defendant
websites has been provided in paragraph 9 of the plaint.
29.
In order to protect and enforce their exclusive rights, the plaintiff
investigated
and
monitored
the
defendant’s
Rogue
Apps/UIs/Domains/websites and gathered evidence of their infringing
activities, which has been filed along with the suit.
30.
It is further contended that despite the legal notice calling upon the
concerned defendants to cease from engaging in their infringing activities,
they continue to infringe the rights in the plaintiff’s original content.
31.
In light of the above, it is contended that the defendants nos. 1 to 3 are
liable for infringement of the plaintiff’s copyright works under Section
51(a)(ii), Section 51(b) and Section 51(a)(i) of the Act, for making a copy of
the original content, including storing of it in any medium by electronic or
other means and communicating the original content to the public the

and/or communicating to the public of the original content for streaming and

downloading, or facilitating the same, without authorization of the plaintiff.
In support of the aforesaid contention, reliance is placed on the decision of
this court in CS(COMM) 724 of 2017 dated 10th April, 2019 titled UTV
Software Communication Ltd. &Anr. v. 1337x.to and Ors.
32.
It is further contended by the plaintiff’s counsel that the creators of
the defendants no. 1-3 Rogue Apps are anonymous and the information
provided in the public domain regarding the owners of their related websites
is either incomplete, incorrect and/or protected behind a veil of secrecy.
These Rogue Apps/UIs/Domains/websites hide behind domain privacy
services offered by various domain name Registrars, which enable a website
owner to hide behind a veil and not disclose any contact details publicly, to
protect his privacy. Defendants no. 4 (Name.com, Inc.), 5 (Spaceship, Inc.),
6 (Hostinger Operations, UAB), 7 (Name Cheap Inc.), 8 (Go Daddy LLC)
are domain name registrars providing domain name registration to the
defendants 1-3.
33.
In order to overcome this, the plaintiff has arrayed various internet
and telecom services providers (ISPs) as the defendants no. 9-17 (hereinafter
"the said ISPs"), DoT as the defendant no. 18, MEITY as the defendant no.
19 in the present suit to ensure the effective implementation of orders passed

Annexure
Subject: Action requested to be taken by MEITY and Plantiff for effective removal of
content for viewing by public at large within India as per the said orders of
Hon’ble Court.
It is observed that a number of orders of Hon’ble Court are issued for blocking of
websites every month. There are around more than 2700 ISPs in India and these ISPs
are connected among themselves in a mesh network. DOT is instructing each of the ISPs
through emails/through its website for blocking of the websites as ordered by the Hon’ble
Courts. Ensuring compliance of the orders by each of the ISPs is a time-consuming and
complex task especially in view of multiplicity of orders of Hon’ble Courts, multiplicity of
websites to be blocked and multiplicity of ISPs.
2.
Allocation of Business Rules inter-alia sates thus:-
‘Policy matters relating to information technology; Electronics; and Internet (all
matters other than licensing of Internet Service Provider)’.
3.
In view of above and in order to ensure effective removal by content for viewing
by public at large, the plantiff is requested to do a trace route of the web server hosting
the said website. In case the web server happens to be in India, the plantiff may inform
the same to Meity who may direct the owner of such web server to stop transmission of
content as per IT Act and as directed by the Hon’ble Court so that the content would be
blocked from the source itself and the exercise of blocking by 2700 ISPs would not be
required.
4.
In case such server is located abroad i.e. outside India then access to such
URL/website can be blocked through the international internet gateways which are much
less in number. This would result in timely and effectively removal of undesirable content
for viewing by public at large as is the requirement as per the orders of Hon’ble Court.
