New Delhi [India], June 4: India’s entertainment industry is expanding at a record pace, producing hit films, web series, and OTT content like never before. However, this success is under constant threat from a major issue — digital piracy. According to a recent EY-IAMAI report, India loses over ₹224 billion annually due to piracy, with a large part of this loss stemming from torrent-based leaks, where pirated versions of content are illegally uploaded and downloaded.
Torrent websites remain the primary source of these leaks. Popular movies and series often appear on torrent platforms within hours of release, spreading quickly and significantly cutting into potential earnings. Traditional legal takedown measures are usually too slow to prevent the damage.
WARX: India’s Fast-Growing Anti-Piracy Company
WARX Digital Private Limited is one of India’s fastest-growing companies in anti-piracy and cybersecurity. The company has already protected over 500 movies and 10,000 digital assets, including major titles like Vikram, LEO, Varisu, GOAT (The Greatest of All Time), and Dragon.
With deep industry expertise, WARX is now leading a new chapter in digital protection with its most advanced solution yet — NetTrace.
NetTrace: Real-Time Action Against Torrent Piracy
NetTrace is a smart anti-piracy tool developed by WARX to catch and stop piracy at the source. The system continuously monitors torrent activity in real-time, identifying when films or shows are being shared illegally. It gathers vital information such as:
- IP addresses
- User locations
- Internet providers
- Timestamps
All this data is admissible in court for swift legal action. Once the system identifies IP addresses involved in piracy, WARX immediately initiates legal steps and notifies the internet service providers (ISPs) responsible. This swift response helps stop the spread before pirated content reaches a wider audience.
Based on analytics, NetTrace can reduce torrent-based piracy by up to 85% for the content it protects.
Educating Viewers About the Real Cost of Piracy
Piracy in India is a serious legal offense under the Copyright Act, 1957. It’s not limited to torrent platforms—anyone who downloads or shares pirated content from any source is breaking the law and can face legal consequences.
If someone accesses pirated content using their company’s network, the entire organization can be held liable. That’s why both individuals and businesses must remain aware and avoid engaging with or supporting illegal content sharing.
NetTrace: Designed for Maximum Impact
NetTrace is already being prepared to support several upcoming film and OTT releases. It shifts the industry approach from reactive to proactive protection, allowing rights holders to act the moment piracy starts, rather than after the damage is done.
The first few days after a release are critical for revenue, and piracy tends to strike during this window. NetTrace offers targeted protection during this vital time, helping platforms and creators prevent losses and improve return on investment.
A Stronger Future for India’s Content Ecosystem
Digital piracy is no longer just an inconvenience—it’s a major threat to India’s creative economy. NetTrace is built specifically to stop torrent-based piracy, offering a smarter, faster, and more effective method of enforcement.
WARX (warx.in) continues to partner with studios and platforms to strengthen content security. With NetTrace (nettrace.in), the industry is no longer reacting to piracy — it’s preventing it in real time.
Now is the time for studios, platforms, ISPs, and audiences to unite in defending creative work and shaping a stronger, safer future for India’s entertainment industry.
