TamilRockers is a torrent website based in India which facilitates the distribution of copyrighted material, including television shows, movies, music and videos.[1] The site allows visitors to search for and download copyrighted material with the help of magnet links and torrent files, which facilitate peer-to-peer file sharing. It also operates multiple Telegram channels and groups with thousands of subscribers.[2] TamilRockers is the tenth most popular torrent site in TorrentFreak's Top 10 Most Popular Torrent Sites of 2020 list.[3]
In India, ISPs have been ordered to block access to the website.[4][5][6] The website continues operation by switching to a series of new web addresses.[7] Aside from its traditional list of pirate sites, apps, and hosting providers, the movie industry group Motion Picture Association (MPA) lists TamilRockers as one of the notorious markets.[8][9]
