The trends of piracy in India are quite negative. Before we go into any details of piracy and its effects on certain industries, let’s first know what piracy is. According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: “Piracy is the act of making illegal copies of DVDs, computer programs, books, etc, in order to sell them. Now, you must have come to know which industry suffers the most from piracy. Yes you are right. The film industry, software companies, video-games companies, and the book publishing companies suffer the most. According to a report prepared by Neelam Verjee Piracy deprived the Indian entertainment industry of some $4 billion (Rs16,240 crore), or almost 40% of potential annual revenues, as well as around 820,000 jobs. Ron Summers, Ernst and Young (E&Y), business council’s president describes the losses as “massive”. Financial analysts believe it to be quite detrimental to the economy as whole.
With the unprecedented use of internet and its influence on entertainment industry, the problem of piracy has become much more complex. Stricter legal laws are needed to stop the ever increasing menace of piracy. This problem is quite controllable. All we need is the concerted efforts from the industries that are being affected by piracy. Besides controlling the price through technology and legally, people should be encouraged not to buy pirated DVDs or other software.Answer:
Customers who buy pirated stuff are one of the main problems. If no one buys pirated stuff, the market would be reduced and eventually finished. Most people of india have this mentality of getting cheaper things. they would rather buy a cheap copy of the movie instead of going to the theatre and spending on tickets and eatables.
They also feel that watching the pirated version from Internet that will be up in 2 days after release of film is more convenient. You can pause the movie, skip the songs, rewind and forward the scenes.
What we don't understand is the hard work of the people. We don't support the creators.
Pirated stuff has one of the biggest markets in India. there are no strict laws against piracy. People who deal in pirated stuff can easily bribe the police officers. Our police is more interested in accepting the bribes.
In US, piracy is a crime and so is downloading pirated material. Customer's internet is cut off and they are blacklisted. However, buying pirated DVDs from shops are a problem as they are not easily regulated but arrests are still made when people are found with pirated possessions.
