The Madras high court on Thursday restrained telecommunication services, including BSNL, and Internet service and cable TV service providers from telecasting the movie ‘3’ starring actor Dhanush, in an illegal and unauthorised manner through different mediums, including CD, VCD, DVD, cable TV, DTH, internet services, multimedia messaging services, pen drives, hard drives, tapes and conditional access system.Plaintiff R.K. Productions Private Limited contended the movie was produced on the cheap of ` 22 crore and was produced simultaneously in Tamil, Telegu and Hindi.
The film, famous for ‘Kolaveri Di’ song, went directly to become a world sensation.
The telecommunication service providers, Internet service and cable TV providers haven't entered into any license agreement with the applicant on communication of the applicant’s film.
Thus, any act by them in copying, recording, reproducing or communicating the film would amount to infringement of applicant’s copyright, the applicant said.
