Movie Piracy-A few things I know
Welcome back!
Movie Piracy
After an off day, I am back to blogspot.
The blogger in me is showing off his aarambha sooratham (roughly translated means initial enthu).
Could not blog yesterday, as it was an off day for me.
The magnitude of Movie piracy in India is huge but too small from the level in Indonesia or the Middle East.
This is my five paisa worth of info on movie piracy.
Usually Malayalam Movie CDs (pirated) come in from the Gulf where it is very easy (it seems!) to record from a movie theatre where it is played, with permission most of the times.
So we get to see some Saudi Arabia or UAE phone numbers scrolling through out the movie. Salute their guts. The are publicising their venture that is on the other side of the law.
Hindi Movie CDs that land in Bangalore are from Pakistan for sure. These CDs have ads of Rangeeli and Kidco Candy, sometimes even ads of PAKi music videos. The quality of ads are abyssmal to say the least. CD piracy therefore is not an unorganised ball game where you go record movies in the theatre near you, but very very organized. DVD versions of movies are available for download. Plz don’t try it at home, for your connection speeds wont allow that. You need some 8-10 hours to download a full DVD movie.
How do the VCD/DVD pirates generate their income. They just create a single master pirated CD and sell it off. The number of copies in the market grows exponentially.
A bad form of doing business, but altruistic way where the revenue stays at One Level and is not passed onto the person on the top. You help others make money without any return.
After TRIPS on piracy will the govt do something seriously to tackle this.
NO , they can’t.It is funny that a person viewing a pirated CD is also a criminal under the eyes of law. Is there a question of ethics. Anyone there to comment?

yeah boss…thats really true. u’re perfectly correct. actually the recording is not in the theatre but in a separate room where the movie is played for the recorder to rcord the movie.it is his wish as much as time he can take. after the first show is finished there are around 50,000 copies of the movie available in a non-dvd version in just one hour.the paki version consistes the rangeeli and kidco ads whereas the indian version contains the kings name but no ads.
