India steps up fight against digital piracy

MUMBAI: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has opened the floor to industry voices as it plans a major revamp of India’s digital anti-piracy armour.

A public notice issued on 7 November invites inputs from film producers, broadcasters, OTT platforms and telecom players on tackling the fast-spreading menace of online content theft. With billions lost each year to pirated movies and shows, the government is keen to tighten its grip on digital delinquents.

Stakeholders have been asked to share their experiences on identifying and removing pirated content, plugging technological gaps, improving coordination with enforcement agencies and adopting global best practices that fit India’s media landscape.

Suggestions can be emailed to digital-mediamib@gov.in within 20 days of the notice. The move signals a renewed push to build a stronger, smarter defence for India’s creative economy, before the pirates sail any further.
