The Delhi High Court has granted a dynamic injunction in favor of ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEEL) in a John Doe order.
The order grants ZEEL with authority to counter online infringement across the expansive digital landscape. Unlike traditional John Doe injunctions that require repeated court approvals for each newly identified rogue site, this approach enables ZEEL to directly notify the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) whenever new content infringing websites are discovered.
The dynamic injunction ensures swift blocking actions, substantially enhancing the speed and efficiency of piracy countermeasures.
With this dynamic framework, ZEEL is positioned to apply this order across any infringing sites identified in the future.
This benefits a broader content ecosystem, ensuring the longevity of high-quality digital entertainment for ZEEL/ZEE5’s diverse audience, underscoring ZEEL’s commitment to protecting its valuable digital assets.
This proactive anti-piracy order additionally fosters a safer online environment for content creators and sets a new industry benchmark in digital copyright enforcement.
