Based on a civil suit filed by the filmmaker, 12 telecommunication companies including BSNL, MTNL, AirTel, Aircel, Vodafone, Reliance Communications – and Tata Teleservices and two websites – Google India and YouTube – received restraining orders against infringing the copyright of the film that released in Tamil and Telugu on April 17.
“The telecom service providers, search engines and other sites against whom the suit is filed are intermediaries as defined under section 2(w) of the Information Technology Act and an intermediary with respect to electronic record means any person who receives, stores or transmits provided by any person,” said Ratnam in his petition.The bench that announced the stay has adjourned the matter to six weeks.
