The Central Government announces a major action plan against piracy. The government announced on Friday that it has appointed 12 nodal officers to take down pirated content from digital platforms in an attempt to curb film piracy. Mythri Movie makers, one of the reputed production houses of Tollywood, thanked the Government for taking up the initiative.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has established an institutional system to combat film piracy, which is estimated to result in losses to the entertainment industry of Rs 20,000 crore every year.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Singh Thakur is behind this action plan. In an interview with reporters in New Delhi, Mr. Thakur stated that the Cinematograph (Amendment) Act 2023 was passed by Parliament during the Monsoon Session this year to combat this problem. He stated that the government has made significant decisions to prevent film piracy.
According to him, the government has appointed 12 nodal officers in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Bureau of Film Certification (CBFC) to handle complaints about film piracy, and they will take action within 48 hours.
“Piracy is a big menace not only for the film industry but for the entire world. Now, action against it is just a complaint away,” Thakur said.
