Reliance Entertainment Takes A Drastic Step To Prevent Piracy
2011-08-30 12:43:00 All you Salman Khan fans waiting eagerly to download the new movie ‘Bodyguard’ via torrents or file sharing websites won’t be able to download it! Downloaders were in for a rude shock last month when they realized that they could not access their favourite file sharing websites like MegaUpload, Mediafire, Hotfile, etc. This was attributed to movie studio Reliance Entertainment who had obtained a court order from the High Court restraining many Internet Service Providers from offering a pirated copy of the movie Singham. As the ISPs were concerned about the court action, they played it safe and blocked entire websites, much to the dismay of the millions of users of such sites. A month later, Reliance is at it again, this time with its movie Bodyguard, which is due to release on 31st August across 2500 screens in theatres across India. Encouraged by their previous actions, Reliance has obtained a ‘John Doe Order’ from the court which dictates websites, c...

India’s Fight Against Piracy? – Four Member BitTorrent Gang Arr
2010-11-25 05:50:00 Like in any other country, BitTorrent is quite popular in India too. Perhaps, many BitTorrent websites get most of their websites traffic from the country owing to the proliferation of broadband internet at a very fast pace. According to TorrentFreak, India is one of the main markets for BitTorrent. At present the country has about 6% of the entire population getting access to broadband internet and a sizeable number of them use BitTorrent. This figure is expected to be doubled in the next two years and there is anticipation that many of the new users would have special interest in BitTorrent. Ironically, there is a height of BitTorrent addiction in India. It is even used to sell internet subscriptions in India. An anonymous torrent site owner was contacted by a local ISP seeking his permission to use his site’s logo for an advertising campaign. Quite contrary to the general perception of the people that BitTorrent is safe in India, there have been a growing number of initiativ...

Fear Of E-readers and Piracy Drives Penguin India To Go Digital
2010-04-12 08:48:00 With e-readers (The iPad, Amazon Kindle & the Infibeam Pi to name a few) and digital reading equipments spreading all over the market, book publishers are really having a hard time selling paperbacks. Although many publishers may claim that they are not affected at all but some where down their mind, they too must be having the fear of these new generation reading devices taking down the book publishing business. India is a tough place to do book business owing to the low book prices here and with ever rising piracy making sure pirated editions of books are already selling at traffic signals before original copies arrive at the book stores, John Makinson (CEO of Penguin) feels that introducing digital and interactive content books in India may take care of the problems of piracy. And the digital versions being well compatible with the new generation e-reader devices, Penguin India feels that it can do good business by offering digital versions of books over mobile phones a...

India Tops Internet Piracy List Despite Low Internet Penetration, Kolkata P
2009-12-21 13:39:00 Illegal Peer-to-Peer activities galore as India ranks 8th in the world with the highest level of film piracy of any English-speaking country, finds a Motion Picture Association (MPA) and Dtechnet study based on tracking of downloading IP-addresses on P2P networks. India still ranks fourth among the largest downloaders of all times. Compared to the internet penetration in India, these figures are completely mind boggling, but not surprising! Recently at WATBlog we covered the launch of mBit Infotech which is a peer-to-peer (P2P) mobile content platform, a joint venture between mTouche and another technology firm, VASSoft.net. And, may be as the pundits suggest P2P will consume about 90% of the world’s internet bandwidth, a situation which most ISP’s are trying to overcome. Nevertheless, to contrast the former, Kolkata Police have planned to set up a website on cyber crime. Wipro,TCS, IBM and FSL shall contribute to this website to fight cyber crime.

China Retail As Piracy Prevention.
2009-08-14 18:11:00 One of the things I love about being a lawyer is what I learn from clients. I recently started working with a company that makes a high end consumer good. In the US, this company sells its products to high end retail outlets, including department stores. It has no retail outlets. This company has been doing more and more of its manufacturing in China and, like so many, it has recently decided the time has come for it to sell its product line in China as well. They have told me that "in order to maintain exclusivity and to prevent piracy," it will be setting up retail stores in China and selling its product only from those stores. That way it will be obvious both to them and to consumers that any of its product that is not in these stores is not the real deal. Now I am sure this is nothing new to many of you (so go ahead and call me out if you wish), but this is actually the first time I have heard of a company going into China retail to protect product integrity. What do...

Software piracy costs $50 billion a year, according to BSA
2009-05-25 07:07:00 Software piracy costs $50 billion a year, according to BSAA report released Tuesday claims that 20 percent of PC software within the United States is pirated – and that that rate is still the lowest in the world.The sixth revision of a joint study between the Business Software Alliance and IDC found that that Armenia, Bangladesh, Georgia, and Zimbabwe are the countries with the highest amounts of piracy, topping 90 percent. Worldwide, the rate of software piracy rose from 38 percent to 41 percent, because of the increase of Internet users in high-piracy locations such as China and India, the report found. Software piracy within the U.S., meanwhile, has remained flat. Setting the effects of exchange rates aside, the report found that the estimated losses from software piracy grew by 5 percent to $50.2 billion. In 2005, however, The Economist published a critique of the BSA/IDC methodology, concluding that the study’s results were exaggerated. BSA and IDC representatives were not...

WTO China Piracy Ruling: It Ain't Worth A Thing....
2009-01-30 07:21:00 Forbes Magazine (which, BTW, does a consistently excellent job in covering China) has a new and interesting article out, entitled, "U.S. Talks Up WTO Piracy Ruling, But It's All Wind" and subtitled, "Washington claims that the trade body took its side in a suit against China, yet the decision will not halt intellectual property theft." The article talks about how the United States government has been playing up its victory on two out of its three claims, but since it lost the one really important one, its victory claim is little more than spin control. To grossly oversimplify, the WTO ruled that China's criminal IP laws are not inconsistent with China's WTO obligations. China Law Blog's own Steve Dickinson is extensively quoted downplaying the U.S. "victory": The U.S. claim was trivial and hyper technical. They won on the hyper technical issue. The only serious issue was the criminal sanctions issue, and they lost on that one. So what this means is exactly nothing," sai...

China, Somali Piracy, And Minding The Gap.
2008-12-18 08:58:00 I am a big fan of Thomas Barnett who is, perhaps, most famous for dividing countries between core and gap, as explained here by Wikipedia: Barnett has termed the globalized countries the "Functioning Core," or simply "the Core." The other countries are part of the "Non-Integrating Gap," or simply "the Gap." The Gap has been shrinking as globalization has expanded. Since most terrorists seem to come from the Gap, he believes that the American military should focus on building partnerships with "seam states," countries bordering the Gap, to stabilize those regions. Stable states would bring more investment and more connectedness with the outside world, therefore progressively shrinking the Gap. The end result of all of this, if it proves to be successful, would be nothing less than the end of interstate warfare on the planet, and probably a significant reduction in intrastate warfare and other problems like terrorism. I was reminded of these distinctions when I read this post on Chi...

2008-04-24 08:11:00 The American entertainment industry wants to join hands with India to eliminate counterfeiting and piracy that costs Bollywood an estimated loss of $4 billion and 800,000 direct jobs each year. Leading entertainment companies from Hollywood and Bollywood came together at an India super-session show organised by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) of America in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Now that we've quantified the losses, we're working with government and industry to eliminate counterfeiting and piracy at the source," said Greg Kalbaugh, director and counsel at US India Business Council (USIBC), an advocacy group seeking to advance India-US commercial ties. "The first step is supporting India's adoption of sensible legislation which regulates the production of optical discs. That will have an immediate impact on the rates of counterfeiting and piracy," he said. "The Indian entertainment industry is growing at a combined annual rate of over 18 percen...

NBC exec criticises iTunes pricing, anti-piracy security
2008-04-18 09:43:00 When NBC started making conciliatory gestures toward Apple back in January it looked as thought the network’s TV shows might soon be back on iTunes. Of course, that hasn’t happened, and the two companies are still arguing over how media is priced and whether Apple is using, as many analysts suspect, iTunes as a loss-leader to pull in new iPod buyers. Now NBC’s chief digital officer, George Kliavkoff, has cranked the pressure up a notch, with the suggestion that current anti-piracy solutions aren’t secure enough to protect his company’s content. “If you look at studies about MP3 players, especially leading MP3 players and what portion of that content is pirated, and think about how that content gets onto that device, it has to go through a gatekeeping piece of software, which would be a convenient place to put some antipiracy measures. One of the big issues for NBC is piracy.

Nigeria overtakes Indonesia in piracy
2008-04-16 10:25:00 Pirate attacks rose worldwide in the first quarter of the year, with Nigeria overtaking Indonesia as the country worst plagued by sea bandits, a global maritime watchdog said Wednesday.Seafarers suffered 49 attacks between January and March around the world, up 20 percent from the 41 in the same period last year, the International Maritime Bureau said in a report by its piracy reporting center in Malaysia.Nigeria ranked as the No. 1 hotspot amid a lack of effective law enforcement, with its 10 reported attacks ? mostly off its main city of Lagos ? accounting for one-fifth of the global total, the London-based bureau said.Indonesian waters have long been the world's most afflicted by pirates, but the number of attacks in the first quarter fell from nine last year to four in 2008, the report said."For the first time in the last decade ...

Australian Police Caught Pirating Movies
2008-04-07 23:25:00 Source: Torrentfreak A recent audit of computer systems belonging to the South Australia Police has found that hundreds are being used to ?share? films. In a move smacking of hypocrisy though, officers involved will not be charged. According to The Australian, during an audit of computer systems by the South Australian police force?s IT branch, police computers belonging to hundreds of police officers were found to contain movies. The origin of these movies is not clear, but it is probable that they?ve been downloaded via p2p at some point, either on these systems, or on the personal systems of officers and transferred over. Senior officials of the SA police force have been made aware of the findings, including its commissioner Mel Hyde. However, police sources have told press that there will not be any investigation into this, citing the large numbers of police officers involved.
