3 Years jail for downloading / Viewing from illegal torrent websites in India


  • Imagine you are binge watching your favorite TV series that you downloaded from so called "illegal" torrent websites and suddenly you hear a knock on your door, and when you open it you find the cops pointing handcuffs on your face.

  • Not only you won't be able to access the torrent websites but if somehow you tried and downloaded the pirated content then chances are you may face 3 years of jail and 3 Lakh rupees fine.

  • Because torrent is just the file distribution system so visiting should not create any problems as long as you are using it for consuming goods that are in public domain.

  • One of the main reason Indians download a lot of pirated materials from illegal torrent websites is the limitation of resources and of course our censor board.

  • So beware next time when you use pirated torrent websites to download your favorite Movies, TV shows, Games or Books.
