The Implementation of the Concept and Provisions of Copyright Legislation in the Indian Film Industry

Abstract

When consumers enter “digital version”, “free download”, “Torrent” or “Pirated Install” on their web browsers, malware assaults and cyber vulnerabilities are two of the top result that appear. As a result of digitalization, traffic to pirated websites has surged, and so has online video consumption. According to many, digital piracy authority, piracy in India increased by 62 percent due to this development of internet and cyberspace. Stremio, Popcorn Time, Solarmovies, 123Movies, and Tamil Rockers are some of the most popular pirated sites. The cyberspace is amongst the most crucial innovations that humanity has produced until time. The mode of communication that is increasing at the highest rate is conversational. The volume of internet traffic continues to increase by one-hundred-fold every 100 days. There is little doubt that its influence on the spread of knowledge is significant. The introduction of the internet has transformed the mode, quality, and speed of information transfer. Information is distributed globally via this medium, and it is possible to assess, read, print, and download information from all around the world. No single individual or entity is able to exercise absolute control over the internet. This is referred to as the information technology communications anarchy since there is no centralised authority for information technology communications. While the internet and the expansion of knowledge-based enterprises have resulted in the creation of a new type of property, this new property is the result of human intellect and effort. This newly devised type of property is known as intellectual property. This type of property is derived from the product of the intellect of human, such as fictional works, paintings, artistic designs, and other forms of creativity in the fields of practical or fine arts. The set of rights includes the right to buy, sell, or lease. This class of things also includes copyrights, patents, trademarks, and designs. Intellectual property differs from traditional of asset as its worth and applications of such asset are very unclear. Because it is easily and freely available to the general public, it is also more likely to be stolen. Intellect is a primary contributor to the making of these goods. It is tough to preserve, which makes it an important area to safeguard.
