Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha today urged the government to take immediate action to tackle piracy on OTT platforms. Chadha stated in the Rajya Sabha that piracy has a significant financial impact on the film business, with projected yearly losses of Rs. 20,000 crores.
MP Raghav Chadha urges the government to tackle film piracy; says, “Piracy is a significant plague that is all pervasive in the film industry and now in OTT world as well
He took to his social media and wrote, “Piracy is a significant plague that is all pervasive in the film industry and now in OTT world as well. The film industry is facing a loss of Rs 20,000 crore annually because of piracy. Online piracy saw a 62% surge during the pandemic. We passed the Cinematographic (Amendment) Bill, a year back but it lacks a concrete mechanism against online piracy and focuses largely on anti-cam recording in multiplexes. As we go digital with more movies being streamed on platforms, I ask the Government what is being done to curb the issue of digital piracy on OTT and whether the government has any plans to bring a dedicated legislation for the same?”

Mr Chadha criticized the present legislation for its ‘narrow scope’, claiming that it falls to fully address the difficulties posed by digital piracy, which has become more common with the rise of streaming services. He urged the government to establish special laws to address the issue adequately.
