In the complaint, Sony has said, "various websites are indulging in hosting, streaming, providing access to, etc of infringing its exclusive rights and broadcast and re-production rights." Moreover, "the acts of infringement is not only causing Sony loss of substantial revenues but will also take away the legitimate revenue to the government through service tax etc which are payable on the subscription fee payable by the named and unnamed defendants if they conduct their business illegitimately."

The Delhi high court has passed an ad-interim, ex-parte order ruling that, "websites named in the complaint, their partners, proprietors, officers, servants, employees, and all others in capacity of principal or agent acting for and on their behalf, or anyone claiming through, by or under it, and the websites listed, or any other website identified by the plaintiff are restrained, from in any manner hosting, streaming, broadcasting, rebroadcasting, retransmitting, exhibiting, making available for viewing and downloading, providing access to and/or communicating to the public, displaying, uploading, modifying, publishing, updating and/or sharing (including to its subscribers and users), through the internet, in any manner whatsoever, the plaintiff broadcast, as broadcasted/contained in its channels Sony Six, Sony Six HD, Sony Pix, and Sony Pix HD in relation to the 2014 FIFA World Cup matches and content related thereto, so as to infringe the plaintiff's (Sony's) broadcast reproduction rights."

Now Sony can get any website that it suspects being used for piracy. As MediaNama points out, Indian IT rules suggest that intermediaries should not be held responsible for user generated content. Google has refused to comment stating that it does not have the details of the order for blocking its services.
