20. As per the case set out in the plaint, Plaintiff is a Swiss association entered in the register of companies and an international, non-governmental, 'not-for-profit' organisation constituted as an association under the laws of Switzerland. UEFA is one of six continental confederations for association football. It constitutes the Governing Body for European football, composed of fifty-five national football Associations from Europe and Central Asia as its members, functioning as a Swiss 'association of associations'. Plaintiff has been constituted for the purposes set out in Article 2 of the UEFA Statutes, Rules of Procedure of the UEFA Congress and Regulations governing the implementation of the UEFA Statutes.
21. It is stated that among its various duties, responsibilities and activities as the governing body for football in Europe under the abovementioned statutes, Plaintiff owns and administers a wide range of international football competitions at both club and national-team level, including the UEFA CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 3 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.

The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 09/02/2026 at 20:36:41 European Championship, European Qualifiers, UEFA Nations League, UEFA Nations League Finals, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League, UEFA Women's EURO and UEF A Women's Champion's League. In that capacity, Plaintiff owns all intellectual property rights relating to these competitions.
22. It is stated that UEFA operates on a 'not-for-profit' basis and redistributes revenues generated through football in accordance with the principle of solidarity and supports reinvestments across all levels of the game. Majority of the media rights' revenues derived from the competitions are distributed to participating clubs and national teams and to provide support in infrastructure, player development, medical and training facilities as well as in 'grassroots football'. Revenues from national team competitions constitute the primary source of funding for UEFA's national association members. In addition, UEFA makes solidarity payments to some clubs and national associations regardless of whether they qualify or participate in UEFA competitions.
23. It is stated that at the forefront of Plaintiff's club competitions, which are among the most prestigious and well-known football competitions in the world, is the UEFA Champions League ('UCL'), an annual competition featuring Europe's highest-ranked professional clubs. UCL is recognised as the pre-eminent club football competition in Europe and is one of the most valuable sports properties in the world. UCL is owned and administered by the Plaintiff and is conducted through a structured qualification process with six out of thirty-eight participating clubs being eliminated and followed by a league-phase round among thirty-six clubs and the two-legged knock-out phase play-off starting off with the remaining sixteen teams ('round of 16', CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 4 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.

In total, there are 189 matches played in each UCL season, commencing from September, 2025 and ending in May of the following year. UCL generates significant commercial value, inter alia, through broadcasting, sponsorship and licensing revenues. These are reinvested into football's development across Europe.
24. It is stated that Plaintiff is the owner of all intellectual property rights in and of the UCL. These include the copyright in the audio-visual footage of UCL matches. Such rights include, inter alia, the copyright and related rights subsisting in the relevant recorded and edited match footage (protected as cinematograph film) as also the right to broadcast, re-broadcast and communicate that footage to the public as well as transmit it by any means or medium, whether simultaneous or deferred. The televisual coverage of UCL matches worldwide, including in India, incorporates other additional copyright works owned by the Plaintiff including creative logos, graphics, brands, music and elements such as clock and score graphics, team line-ups and the musical anthem for the UCL, which are themselves protected as 'original artistic' and 'original musical' works ('UEFA Copyright Works').
25. It is further stated that the actual marketing, sales and contracting of the commercial rights to UCL is currently carried out by "UC3", a joint venture vehicle created between the Plaintiff and the European Football Clubs in 2025, which holds relevant commercial exploitation rights. Albeit UC3 receives licence fee revenues from broadcast partners in respect of the media rights to UCL, substantial part of the money is ultimately distributed by the Plaintiff throughout European football. Importantly, notwithstanding UC3 joint venture, Plaintiff remains the owner of all underlying intellectual property rights in the UEFA Copyright Works and which is why it has the CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 5 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.

The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 09/02/2026 at 20:36:41 sole responsibility of enforcement of these rights on a global basis. This model was set-up and agreed upon, in part, with anti-piracy action in mind so that the Plaintiff could continue to enforce its rights against infringers in a centralised and coordinated manner across all its competitions around the world, including in respect of UCL in India.
26. It is stated that under its global media rights licensing model, UEFA grants media rights licences on a territory-by-territory basis to appointed media partners, undertaking not to exploit the 'live' rights or to authorise any other entity to do so, within the licensed territory, providing that each partner shall be the live UCL broadcast partner in the relevant territory, during the term of the applicable licence. In Indian subcontinent, Plaintiff licenses the media rights of UCL matches to Culver Max. The proprietary assets i.e., the footage comprised within the broadcaster coverage of UCL matches, including the UEFA Copyright Works and its broadcast are available on linear television through Sony Sports Network and are live- streamed through 'SonyLIV' i.e., broadcaster's on-demand OTT platform. Therefore, any telecast of UCL matches in India by any entity other than Culver Max will be infringement of Plaintiff's copyright. It follows that any unauthorised use, reproduction, distribution, communication to the public, broadcast, re-broadcast, publication, transmission of UEFA Copyright Works by any means or medium, whether simultaneous or deferred, or any other unauthorised commercial exploitation of UEFA Copyright Works in India, will directly interfere with and dilute Plaintiff's intellectual property rights and in turn, the premium nature and value of live UCL rights licensed by UEFA to its authorised partners around the world, including Culver Max in India.

27. It is stated that the subject matter of the present suit pertains to the matches of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 ('Event'), that commenced in September, 2025 and will conclude in May, 2026 as also UEFA Copyright in respect of the Event. Although live football matches forming subject matter of this suit are organised outside India and Plaintiff is a foreign entity, Plaintiff's copyright in UEFA Copyright Works is fully protected and enforceable in India, by virtue of Section 40 of the Copyright Act, 1957 ('1957 Act') read with the International Copyright Order, 1999 ('Order 1999'), whereby, all provisions of 1957 Act apply to works, including cinematograph films, first published or made in countries mentioned in Schedule to Order 1999 in the same manner as if the works were first published in India. Consequently, Plaintiff enjoys in India the copyright in terms of Section 14 inter alia to reproduce, distribute and communicate to the public in respect of UEFA Copyright Works.
28. It is stated that Plaintiff's copyright and related rights subsisting in UEFA Copyright Works, including the right to broadcast, re-broadcast, communicate etc. extend unequivocally to all upcoming matches of the Event. Therefore, any unauthorised broadcast, re-broadcast, streaming, making available for viewing or downloading or communication to the public of the Event or any part thereof, constitutes violation of Plaintiff's copyright in UEFA Copyright Works under 1957 Act.
29. It is stated that based on its past experience, Plaintiff apprehends that Defendants' websites are likely to infringe Plaintiff's copyright in respect of UEFA Copyright Works relating to forthcoming matches of the Event. A network of rogue websites has been systematically infringing not only Plaintiff's rights but also rights of several other proprietary content owners.

The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 09/02/2026 at 20:36:41 These rogue websites and domain names, impleaded as Defendants No. 1 to 23 (Defendants' websites), have been found streaming proprietary content relating to UCL, including in the applicable UEFA Copyright Works, in the past. These websites are engaged in unauthorised dissemination, hosting, streaming and making available to the public, unlicensed third-party content, including protected broadcasts and audiovisual works through internet, digital delivery mechanisms and mobile transmission. They operate without authorisation from lawful rights' owners and are structured with the objective of enabling unlawful consumption of copyrighted content. Defendants' websites are conducting illegal activities through primary domains and secondary domains. The operators of these primary domains create multiple sub-domains that function as mirrors, redirects or alphanumeric variations of the primary domains. Accordingly, the corresponding primary domains and their related sub-domains have been impleaded as Defendants in the present suit.
30. It is stated that Defendants' websites routinely upload, stream and make available various streams of Plaintiff's copyrighted broadcast, including matches and are ex facie infringing. These are evidently 'rogue' in nature inasmuch as: (i) their primary purpose is to transmit, stream, download, host, communicate and provide access to copyrighted broadcasts of the Plaintiff without any authorisation; (ii) they intentionally and systematically upload and disseminate vast volumes of infringing content, including, inter alia, unauthorised broadcasts of Plaintiff's events; (iii) no verifiable contact information, identification details or ownership particulars are made available on their platforms and their domain names and interfaces are pseudonymous; and (iv) their functioning demonstrates a complete CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 8 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.

The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 09/02/2026 at 20:36:41 disregard for copyright, as they routinely facilitate access to content and/or broadcasts owned by the Plaintiff without obtaining any authorisation.
31. It is stated that Defendants' websites operate well-structured homepages that are systematically organised with clear categorization of content, including dedicated sections for live sporting events and highlights. Further, Defendants' websites have openly advertised and announced the availability of upcoming matches of the Event, thereby driving traffic to their infringing platforms. These actions are neither isolated nor inadvertent, but reflect a sustained pattern of unauthorised streaming, indexing and dissemination of copyrighted content, carried out with the clear objective of exploiting, inter alia, Plaintiff's copyrights. Conduct of these Defendants' websites squarely satisfies the indicia of 'rogue websites' as recognized by this Court in UTV Software Communication Ltd. and Others v. 1337X.To and Others, 2019 SCC OnLine Del 8002. Accordingly, it is imperative that Defendants' websites be restrained by an ex parte ad interim order.
32. Learned counsel for the Plaintiff submits that Defendants' websites are habitual in hosting illegal and pirated content. Plaintiff holds copyright under Section 14 of 1957 Act to inter alia reproduce, distribute and/or communicate to the public content under the UEFA Copyright Works. Plaintiff apprehends that looking at the past conduct of the Defendants' websites, they will illegally and unlawfully communicate the upcoming matches of the Event also, amounting to infringement of Plaintiff's copyright, which it is entitled to protect. Additionally, broadcast content, including footage, commentary etc., is also required to be safeguarded. Reliance is placed on the judgment of this Court in Universal City Studios LLC. and Others v. Dotmovies Baby and Others, 2023 SCC OnLine Del CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 9 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.

The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 09/02/2026 at 20:36:41 4955, where Court granted injunction restraining the rogue websites from in any manner, streaming, reproducing, distributing and/or communicating to the public any copyrighted content of the Plaintiffs therein, including future works. Relevant passages from the judgment are as follows:-
"17. Any injunction granted by a Court of law ought to be effective in nature. The injunction ought to also not merely extend to content which is past content created prior to the filing of the suit but also to content which may be generated on a day-to-day basis by the Plaintiffs. In a usual case for copyright infringement, the Court firstly identifies the work, determines the Copyright of the Plaintiff in the said work, and thereafter grants an injunction. However, owing to the nature of the illegalities that rogue websites induldge in, there is a need to pass injunctions which are also dynamic qua the Plaintiffs as well, as it is seen that upon any film or series being released, they may be immediately uploaded on the rogue websites, causing severe and instant monetary loss. Copyright in future works comes into existence immediately upon the work being created, and Plaintiffs may not be able to approach the Court for each and every film or series that is produced in the future, to secure an injunction against piracy.
xxx xxx xxx
19. As innovation in technology continues, remedies to be granted also ought to be calibrated by Courts. This is not to say that in every case, an injunction qua future works can be granted. Such grant of an injunction would depend on the fact situation that arises and is placed before the Court.
20. In the facts and circumstances as set out above, an ex parte ad interim injunction is granted restraining the Defendants, who are all rogue websites, from in any manner streaming, reproducing, distributing, making available to the public and/or communicating to the public any copyrighted content of the Plaintiffs including future works of the Plaintiffs, in which ownership of copyright is undisputed, through their websites identified in the suit or any mirror/redirect websites or alphanumeric variations thereof including those websites which are associated with the Defendants' websites either based on the name, branding, identity or even source of content. To keep pace with the dynamic nature of the infringement that is undertaken by hydra-headed websites, this Court has deemed it appropriate to issue this 'Dynamic+ injunction' to protect copyrighted works as soon as they are created, to ensure that no irreparable loss is caused to the authors and owners of copyrighted works, as there is an imminent possibility of works being uploaded on rogue websites or their newer versions immediately upon the films/shows/series etc. The Plaintiffs are permitted to implead any mirror/redirect/alphanumberic variations of the websites identified in the CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 10 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.
The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 09/02/2026 at 20:36:41 suit as Defendants Nos. 1 to 16 including those websites which are associated with the Defendants Nos. 1 to 16, either based on the name, branding, identity or even source of content, by filing an application for impleadment under Order I Rule 10 CPC in the event such websites merely provide new means of accessing the same primary infringing websites that have been injuncted. The Plaintiffs are at liberty to also file an appropriate application seeking protection qua their copyrighted works, including future works, if the need so arises. Upon filing such applications before the Registrar along with an affidavit with sufficient supporting evidence seeking extension of the injunction to such websites, to protect the content of the Plaintiffs, including future works, the injunction shall become operational against the said websites and qua such works. If there is any work in respect of which there is any dispute as to ownership of copyright, an application may be moved by the affected party before the Court, to seek clarification."
33. Having heard learned counsel for the Plaintiff, I am of the view that Plaintiff has made out prima facie case for grant of ex parte ad interim injunction. Balance of convenience lies in favour of the Plaintiff and against Defendants No. 1 to 23. The issue of rogue websites engaged in piracy of copyrighted content is posing a recurring threat and there is no gainsaying that piracy must be curbed and needs to be dealt with a heavy hand. This position is acknowledged and reaffirmed in several decisions of this Court, one of which is referred to above. There is a need for immediate relief in the present case considering that 'UEFA Champions League 2025- 26' is ongoing and will conclude in May, 2026. Delay in blocking access to Defendants' websites and/or any other rogue websites indulging in illegal and unlawful activities, would lead to an irreparable breach of Plaintiff's copyrights, as aforementioned, apart from revenue loss.
34. Accordingly, Defendants No. 1 to 23 and/or any person acting on their behalf are restrained from communicating, hosting, streaming, screening, disseminating or making available for viewing/downloading without authorization, any part of UEFA Champions League 2025-26, on CS(COMM) 106/2026 Page 11 of 19 This is a digitally signed order.
