The Indian government's "Department of Telecommunications" is now using AI web crawlers to dynamically block proxies. As of 2025, over 300 proxies of Filmyzilla have been disabled.

Furthermore, OTT platforms are using digital watermarking. Every legal stream has an invisible watermark unique to the subscriber. If you upload it to Filmyzilla, the platform knows exactly who leaked it, and that person faces a lawsuit worth millions.
