Pirated Version of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' Emerges on YouTube

A pirated version of the highly anticipated Tamil blockbuster "Pushpa 2: The Rule" starring Allu Arjun surfaced on various YouTube channels, including 'Goatzz' and 'RAZA YT 0007,' in a major blow to content creators. The illicit upload has garnered lakhs of views despite efforts to curb piracy.

With several notable exceptions, the film continues to hold its own at the global box office, with collections now exceeding Rs 800 crore. Despite receiving mixed reviews from audiences worldwide, "Pushpa 2: The Rule" remains a commercial success due largely to the global appeal of its original Hindi dub version.

Last week's piracy incident appears to be another unwelcome challenge for content creators and distributors as they struggle to safeguard their intellectual property rights in today’s digital world.
