(PDF) Impact of Online Digital Piracy on the Indian Film Industry
Piracy remains a "unshakeable shadow" over the Indian film industry, which is the world's leader in online video piracy visits. In 2023 alone, the Indian entertainment sector suffered an estimated (approx. $2.7 billion USD) in revenue losses due to illicit distribution.
The growth of digital piracy in India, which rose by during the 2020 pandemic, is fueled by a complex interplay of socioeconomic factors:
: Roughly 51% of Indian consumers admit to accessing pirated content, with the highest usage among the 19–34 age group.
: Many viewers view piracy as a "victimless crime," often unaware that it directly impacts the livelihoods of millions of daily-wage workers in the industry.
: India is a highly price-sensitive market. High ticket prices and the need for multiple expensive subscriptions push users toward free alternatives.
: While sites like ExtraMovies are illegal, users often turn to them not just for cost, but for the convenience of finding fragmented content (from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ Hotstar) in a single location. Why Piracy Persists Despite Legal Options
