Delhi HC restrains unauthorised streaming of ICC Cricket World Cup

The Delhi High Court has restrained online platforms from unauthorisedly broadcasting and streaming the upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. The court's order came on a lawsuit by Star India Pvt Ltd and Novi Digital Entertainment Pvt Ltd which operates Disney+ Hotstar platform. The plaintiffs said they have the exclusive global media rights, including the television and digital rights for various ICC events like the World Cup, which is scheduled to be held from October 5 to November 19. They said being one of the most popular sporting events in the world, a large number of websites were likely to indulge in unauthorised dissemination of the World Cup content. Justice Prathiba M Singh observed that undoubtedly the World Cup cricket matches were "extremely popular, especially in the Indian subcontinent" and rogue websites, which in the past have also indulged in piracy, were very likely to continue the authorised streaming. "Thus, there is a need to restrain any rogue websites
