Following successful criminal prosecutions of the owners of these stores, Yash Raj through its attorneys, Poppe & Bhouraskar, LLP, filed civil copyright infringement claims against the owners of each of the stores in United States District Court.

The recent District Court judgments serve as a warning that Yash Raj intends to pursue persons and businesses that duplicate, display or distribute illegal, unauthorized copies of any and all films to which Yash Raj holds the copyrights and prosecute such infringers to the fullest extent of the law.
