Why Tamilrockers Are So Hard To Stop?

Madras High Court ordered Internet Service Providers (ISP) to block nearly 12,000 piracy websites in December 2018 which surprisingly included 2,000 suspected sites of Tamilrockers. This shows how this website has control over the market as, despite the order, the film 2.0 was available on their website in hours after the release. Now, that’s where the question arises, why are Tamilrockers hard to stop?

Here the point is- The battle is not against one individual. Tamilrockers are run by several people and are anonymous in nature. The sites are hosted on proxy servers which are based out of either Russia or Ukraine.

Even though Tamilrockers were blocked by the Department of Telecommunication India, the site administrators are expert in creating a new website with high traffic to evade the block.

The technology which is used to delete every domain or completely taking down the website, the same technology is used by Tamilrockers to host a site, with technology and coding, which makes it nearly difficult to completely take down or delete Tamilrockers.
