About TamilRockers

Tamilrockers not only allows its users to download content for free but you can also stream movies or shows online for free in good quality. This website has an easy user interface which shows its recent and popular leaks on the homepage itself and you can also search for your favourite movie or show using the search box. Tamilrockers is banned in India and its domains are blocked by the government, but this website very well knows how to tackle such problems and that is why these websites regularly change their domain extensions. A person can also visit such a website by either using a VPN network or by mirror interface.

Someone who uses or handles any such website can be punished under Anti Piracy Laws and Copyright Laws. These websites are accessed by billions of people and this affects the entertainment industry as it faces huge loses because of such websites. It was estimated that the entertainment industry loses almost 2.8 billion dollars every year only because of such websites as they leak movies and shows as soon as they are released and then people avoid going to cinema halls to watch movies or they avoid subscribing OTT platforms for shows or movies which leads to such losses.

Government is continuously taking steps to stop piracy. If a person is found guilty of being involved in any such activity, he/she will be fined and will also have to go to jail for a specific term. Moreover, as per the Cinematograph Act, if anyone is found recording a movie without the consent of the producer, he/she will have to face jail for 3 years and will also have to pay a fine of ₹10 lakhs.

The most common question which is asked by people is, how do these websites actually earn? The main source of earning of such a website is third party advertisements. You must have noticed that whenever you use any such website a lot of pop ups appear, these are the ads for which they are paid. They only get third party ads as Google does not support piracy and hence Google ads are not put up on such websites. It’s not only Tamilrockers that earns by uploading pirated content, there are a lot of other websites such as 1337x, Filmywap, Movierulz, Worldfree4u etc., which earn by uploading pirated or copyrighted content.

After keen investigation, three men were arrested in 2018 who were said to be the founders of Tamilrockers. In 2019, some more members of Tamilrockers were arrested in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, after which the site went offline for a while but then was soon back in business.
