However, the website's operators continued to evade authorities by using mirror sites and proxy servers. It wasn't until 2020, when a coordinated effort by the Tamil Nadu Police, the Chennai City Police, and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) led to the arrest of several key individuals associated with the website, that TamilBlastersNet's operations began to wind down.
The growth of legitimate streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar, has provided audiences with convenient and affordable access to content. However, the proliferation of piracy websites like TamilBlastersNet underscores the need for these services to continue innovating and improving their offerings.
During its heyday, TamilBlastersNet was responsible for leaking several high-profile Tamil films, including movies starring popular actors like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijay. The website's impact on the Tamil film industry was significant, with many films experiencing significant losses due to piracy.
