Today, many courts issue dynamic injunctions too, allowing rightsholders to add new domain names or IP-addresses, without returning to court. <\/p>\n<p>Dynamic blocking orders are also common in India with courts noting that the flexible approach helps to combat pirate site \u2018hydras\u2019. India is also known for another progressive site blocking strategy, one that targets piracy before it happens. <\/p>\n<h2>Preemptive Spider-Man Piracy Blockade<\/h2>\n<p>This week the Delhi High Court in New Delhi granted a site blocking order requested by Sony Pictures. This injunction aims to protect the upcoming release of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt9362722\/\">Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse<\/a>,\u201d which is scheduled to premiere in theaters later this week. <\/p>\n<p>As far as we know, no pirated versions of the film are currently available online. Sony doesn\u2019t mention any in its application either but expects rogue copies to appear on known pirate sites in the near future. To limit this potential piracy, these sites should be blocked, the studio argued. <\/p>\n<p>The application lists 101 pirate sites including variants of The Pirate Bay, YTS, RARBG, LimeTorrents, Fmovies, Myflixer, 123movies and others. Many of these already share copies of the 2018 film \u201cSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse\u201d and are allegedly  \u201cin the process\u201d of pirating the sequel too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/sites-india-evidence.jpg\" alt=\"sites blocked\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-235801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/sites-india-evidence.jpg 1886w, https:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/images\/sites-india-evidence-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/images\/sites-india-evidence-1536x1033.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>After reviewing the available evidence, Justice C Hari Shankar of the Delhi High Court comments as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe facts of the case as recited hereinabove indicate that the plaintiff\u2019s copyright in the films \u2018Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse\u2019 and \u2018Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse\u2019 have\/are in the process of being infringed and violated by the Defendants 1 to 101.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Mirrors and Copies are Covered<\/h2>\n<p>The owners of the pirate sites were alerted to the proceeding last week but it appears that none have objected formally. As a result, Justice Shankar issued an order that prohibits the operators from making pirated copies of the Spider-Man films available to the public. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, Indian Internet providers are ordered to block access to the pirate sites\u2019 listed domain names, as well as any proxies and mirrors that may come online in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The Internet providers] are directed to block access to the websites at S.
