However, the involvement of Tamilrockers in disseminating the film raised concerns about piracy and its impact on the film industry. The website's actions, while popular among fans, were seen as a threat to the livelihoods of filmmakers, actors, and other industry professionals.

That's when a group of enthusiasts turned to the notorious online platform, Tamilrockers. Founded in 2010, the website had quickly gained a reputation for providing pirated copies of Tamil movies, often within hours of their theatrical release.

The cat-and-mouse game between piracy websites and the authorities continued, with Tamilrockers always staying one step ahead. However, the damage had already been done, and the film industry began to rethink its strategy for combating piracy.

As the days went by, the authorities began to crack down on Tamilrockers and other piracy websites. The website's administrators were forced to constantly change their domain names and server locations to evade detection.

The filmmakers, too, took steps to protect their work. The producers of "Aayirathil Oruvan" launched a campaign to promote legitimate channels for watching the film, such as DVD releases and online streaming platforms.

As the link went live, fans swarmed the website, eager to download the film. The servers were put to the test as thousands of users simultaneously tried to access the file. The website's moderators worked tirelessly to keep the link alive, despite numerous takedown notices from the authorities.
