The Delhi High Court has directed internet service providers (ISPs) to prohibit access to more than 100 rogue websites from hosting or streaming the upcoming animated film, ‘Spider-Man: Across The SpiderVerse’ as well as its 2018 prequel ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’.

Justice C. Hari Shankar was hearing Sony Pictures Animation Inc’s suit contending that it is the copyright holder of the movie.
