The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on August 18, 2026, issued Direction to Block 37 Piracy Websites/Domains Pursuant to Delhi High Court Order in Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. vs. Bollyzone.tv & Ors.
This is a directive stemming from the Delhi High Court's order dated October 24, 2024, in CS(COMM) 937 of 2024 (Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited vs. Bollyzone.tv & Ors.). The Court order, specifically at paragraphs 41(v), (vi), and (viii) along with additional lists 31 and 32, directs the blocking of 37 websites/domains identified as infringing on Zee Entertainment's content (likely involved in piracy of copyrighted material).
Based on this court order, the notice instructs all Internet Service Licensees (ISPs) to immediately block access to the 37 listed websites/domains, in compliance with the Court's directions. This is a standard enforcement action where telecom/internet regulators (such as DoT) pass on judicial blocking orders to ISPs for execution against piracy websites.
