The crackdown on the racket sent a strong message to other piracy networks operating in the industry, and the industry stakeholders are now more vigilant than ever in protecting their intellectual properties. As the industry continues to grow and evolve, it is essential to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing the issue of piracy, to ensure that the creative industry continues to thrive.

However, the party was short-lived. In 2008, the Indian government, in collaboration with international law enforcement agencies, launched a crackdown on piracy websites. TamilBlasters was one of the first targets. Kumar and his team were caught off guard, and several members of the team were arrested and charged with copyright infringement and other related crimes.
