Disney, Netflix & Crunchyroll push global pirate site takedowns via Indian court

So Disney, Netflix and Crunchyroll (along with Warner Bros. and Apple) have gone to the Delhi High Court and secured what’s called a “Dynamic+” injunction in December 2025. On paper, it’s one of the strongest anti-piracy orders we’ve seen from India.

The order does more than the usual ISP blocking. Indian ISPs are told to block 150+ pirate streaming domains, but the interesting part is that it also targets mirror sites and future domains automatically, without the studios having to go back to court each time.

What’s more controversial is that the court also directed global domain registrars to get involved. Registrars like Namecheap, GoDaddy, Tucows, Dynadot, NameSilo, OVH, and even Tonga’s government registrar were named. They were told to suspend or lock the domains worldwide within 72 hours, and to hand over subscriber/registrant details within four weeks.

Now here’s where theory meets reality.

As of early January 2026, most of the big registrars haven’t actually complied with the global suspension part. Many of the domains are still live, and in typical pirate fashion, several sites just redirected users to new domains almost immediately. Only a few registrars like Porkbun, Hostinger, WHG Hosting, and some under Registrar.eu seem to have fully acted on the order.

So while the court order looks extremely aggressive on paper, enforcement outside India is clearly another story. There’s been no visible follow-up action yet forcing non-compliant registrars to fall in line, which raises the obvious question:

how much reach does a national court really have when it comes to global domain infrastructure?

Interesting case overall strong legal language, but mixed results so far.

Source of this will help. Entities outside may not be subject to laws here so they can get away by not complying. The only way is for the Govt. to block them but then..

Lets see how they are able to do here, whenever this is not doable on global level by people who invented this.

This part is interesting, future domains ?

It means companies can just submit similar/related piracy domains to ISPs in future for blocking without obtaining a corresponding court order first.

Thats what is interesting, how will they determine which are similar/related piracy domains.
This is not adapted yet on global level..
The biggest hit was closure of isonews 2 decades back, where the law makers took many years..
Though they controlled .Com (ICANN)

Same way they determine now only in future they will submit the supporting evidence to court after the ban if the domains in question decide to fight the ban (aka US equivalent of “Shoot first, ask questions later” ).
