Inter-ministerial committee to develop coordinated action plans to curb film piracy: I&B

An inter-ministerial committee has been constituted to strengthen anti-piracy strategies and develop coordinated action plans, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs Dr. L. Murugan informed the Rajya Sabha today.

Responding to an unstarred question on the unauthorised circulation of Indian films, Dr. Murugan said the government remains fully conscious of the adverse impact of digital piracy on the creative economy. He outlined several steps taken to curb piracy, particularly involving pre-release content and international piracy networks operating via the dark web and torrent platforms.
