'Popular' film piracy website Tamirockers has reportedly announced it will end its services permanently. Though there is no confirmation regarding the same, a few tweets reveal that the Tamirockers team has announced its closure with a screenshot of a page that says, 'Thanks To TR For His Wonderful Services For A Decade- From Team TMV'.

Well, the news has received a mixed response from the netizens, with many stating that the site is different and has nothing to do with the piracy website. On the other hand, a few were seen suggesting an alternative website for the same. Some are also hoping that Tamilrockers would make a comeback very soon with a new domain.

If true, the closure of the piracy website will have a tremendous impact on the box-office collection and even the OTT release of films. One cannot deny the fact that a lot of people are dependent on such websites, who will now be forced to divert their attention towards OTT platforms or an alternative website. On a related note, the recently released Putham Pudhu Kaalai was leaked by the infamous Tamilrockers website.
