Delhi HC Issues Dynamic Injunction to DAZN Against Piracy of FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Streams

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has delivered a significant judgment granting an ex parte Dynamic+ injunction in favour of British sports streaming platform DAZN, directing the immediate blocking of rogue websites illegally streaming content from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

Justice Saurabh Banerjee heard the commercial suit filed by DAZN Limited and DAZN Software Private Limited against multiple defendants, including rogue websites, domain name registrars, internet service providers, and government authorities. The court noted that DAZN had acquired exclusive media rights for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on 19.05.2025, with worldwide broadcasting rights, including in India, across television and digital platforms.

Addressing specific concerns about online piracy, the court observed:

“The present case, prima facie, appears to be a classic case of copyright infringement by masked players like defendant nos. 1 to 23, who use the veil of today’s technology to conveniently conceal their true identities and unabashedly abuse and enrich themselves by using the protected works of parties like the plaintiff herein.”

The court highlighted the urgency of protecting intellectual property rights in the digital age, stating:

“Such entities are sprouting and have to be stopped at the earliest given opportunity. If the same is not done, undoubtedly the legitimate rights of parties like the plaintiff herein would be put in serious jeopardy.”

In a specific directive, the court instructed domain name registrars and internet service providers to

“take steps to immediately block the said domain names associated with the defendant websites on a real-time basis”
upon receiving intimation from DAZN regarding newly discovered infringing websites during the proceedings.

The court emphasized the effectiveness of Dynamic+ injunctions:

“The plaintiff is seeking a ‘Dynamic+’ injunction, a form of injunctive relief which is being granted by Court(s) in similar matters in recent years, primarily with a view to protect parties like the plaintiff herein against rapidly developing online infringement platforms.”

The case involved multiple rogue websites including buffsportsme, sporthd.me, piratemedia.me, vipbox.lc, strimsy.top, and vipstand.pm, which were found to be illegally streaming DAZN’s exclusive content. The court noted that these websites were not independently broadcasting content, but rather illegally circumventing DAZN’s proprietary streaming mechanisms.

Mr. Siddharth Chopra, Mr. Yatinder Garg, Mr. Akshay Maloo, and Ms. Ishi Singh, Advocates appeared for the Plaintiffs.

Case Title: DAZN Limited & Anr. vs. Buffsportsme & Ors.
