The fight against piracy has been ongoing, with law enforcement agencies, film industry associations, and governments collaborating to curb the menace. In 2018, the Indian government launched a nationwide crackdown on piracy websites, including Tamilrockers and Tamilgun. However, the cat-and-mouse game continues, with new websites and domains emerging to fill the vacuum.

Tamilrockers, one of the most prominent piracy websites, has been at the forefront of providing Malayalam movie downloads. The website, which has been operating since 2011, has been constantly evolving, with new domains and mirror sites emerging to evade law enforcement. Tamilrockers has been accused of facilitating piracy for various film industries, including Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema.

Tamilgun, another notorious piracy website, has gained a significant following for its extensive collection of pirated movies, including Malayalam films. The website, which has been operating since 2017, has been accused of uploading high-quality pirated copies of movies, often within hours of their theatrical release.
