Over the years, the film industry especially that of Tamil is being tormented by a Piracy Website which goes by the initials T.R. The film producers have tried their level best to take it down but failed to do so. But it looks like the menace is cleared by the OTT Major.
We do not know what they did but the domain is inaccessible for now. “We are hoping that it will not come back. Previously, when we managed to take it down, it came back after some days in one form or the other,” a Tamil Producer said.
This will be a major success for the OTT Platforms as the content acquired by them is getting uploaded on such sites minutes after their release. “There are many such sites but T.R. is the major one. So, this is a moment to celebrate. The next move should be to curb the spread of piracy through Telegram,” the producer added.
Amazon Prime Video may be the first beneficiary of this as Suriya’s Soorarai Pottru will be skipping its theatrical release and going to be streamed online. The movie is going to be premiered on the 30th of this month. Soorarai Pottru is the first major Tamil release going to release online.
