One of the most serious impediments to Tamil cinema is the danger of online piracy sites. Needless to give an introduction, TamilRockers have been notorious for releasing films(sometimes on release days) thereby bringing in a great loss to the industry.

And the most daring thing is the open challenge they give saying they would release the movie and then actually do it. Filmmakers and producers have even stooped down sometimes requesting the site to stay the release of their films in the site until profits are recovered.

Pertaining to this well known actor and DMK MLA Chadra Shekar has raised a question in the assembly. “Who are these TamilRockers. They release the movie in the internet on the same day as the actual movie’s release. Who’s the owner of the site? Like they say in cinema,they have become anti-heroes. The state should take action in this regards very soon," he said.

However, we only have to wait and see if the government will take any action against the pirate website in short time.
