Description 21-31
In the present times, the Internet has become a threat to copyright content by facilitating sharing of information on a
large-scale, and providing accessible alternatives to retrieve information goods including films & music. The irony of
sharing information over the internet is that ‘access-to-content’ is deemed synonymous with ‘control-of-content’. This
phenomenon is defined as “Online Digital Piracy”. The Indian Film and Entertainment industry too is one such victim of
piracy of its copyright in cinematographic works over the internet.
This study attempts to understand the causes and impacts of Online Digital Piracy on the Indian Film Industry and the
efficiency of the current legal regime in India governing the same. It takes a unique approach as the same is reflective of the
inferences drawn from an empirical study of digital content consumers concerning the volumes of consumption of pirated
film content. It deals with the conceptual and theoretical basis of online digital piracy with reference to the Indian Film
Industry and critically evaluates the current legal regime in India under Copyright and Technology Laws to combat the
adverse effects of piracy-related activities after corroborating the inferences drawn from an empirical study of consumer
behaviour towards online digital piracy.
