Squid Games 3 Leaked: Don't Download It Unless You Want To Pay Lakhs In Fine

The high-octane finale of the global Korean phenomenon Squid Games has made its long-awaited debut on Netflix today, June 27. Featuring stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun, the third season promised more chilling games, moral dilemmas, and shocking twists. But as fans rushed to binge the series legally, pirated copies were already circulating across the internet.

Notorious websites such as Tamilrockers, Movierulez, Filmyzilla, and Telegram channels have uploaded Squid Games 3 in multiple formats, ranging from HD 1080p to as low as 240p. The leak happened just hours after its official launch, raising serious concerns for both cybersecurity experts and content creators.

Why You Shouldn't Download 'Squid Games 3' For Free

Tempted to click on those free download links? Think again. Illegally accessing pirated content not only violates copyright laws in India but could also land users in serious legal trouble. According to Indian regulations, offenders may face fines up to Rs 2 lakh and even imprisonment.

Beyond legal risks, these websites are notorious for being breeding grounds for malware. From spyware and ransomware to fake download buttons designed to steal personal data, piracy platforms are loaded with hidden dangers. Victims have reported cases of financial fraud, stolen passwords, and corrupted devices — all from one careless click.

And if you think you're getting a free pass to top-quality entertainment, you're mistaken. Pirated versions often suffer from broken subtitles, distorted audio, choppy editing, and poor resolution — an experience far removed from the visual spectacle the creators envisioned.

Piracy not only undermines the entertainment industry but also robs artists of the recognition and revenue they rightfully deserve, the makers emphasised. The leak of Squid Games 3 is a setback not just for Netflix, but also for the army of creatives — from directors to VFX artists — whose work has been compromised.

The entertainment industry continues to grapple with rampant piracy, especially for high-profile titles like Squid Games. While tech teams scramble to take down illegal uploads, the damage to viewership numbers and creators’ morale is already done.

For grand cinematic projects such as Squid Games 3, the best way to honour the effort is by experiencing it legally, whether in theatres or on authorised streaming platforms.

ABP Live condemns such acts of piracy and stands in solidarity with content creators. Let us respect the art, the artists, and the ecosystems that bring these stories to life. Watch responsibly. Say no to piracy.
