dont blame Pakistan alone for this piracy thing ....... i agree that Pakistanis plays some role in it but indians r equally involved ..... without assistance from people in bollywood ....... piracy is simple not possible!
You guys are blaming Pak for ripping off Indian Money. What Does India do? Every movie thats being churned out has Script written in Hollywood, They are frame to frame copy. Allmost all songs that every one hums in India is a copy of English,Spanish,Pakistani,Arabic,African,French music. And not for now, its been from 50's. And Indian feel proud in Humming Mehbooba Mehbooba, Chura liya,Ae mere Humsafar,Gazab ka hai din,Maahi wey(Kaante). Piracy is in Blood of Indians. Stop blaming others.
Just don't blame Pakistanis. Indian films are copied and rented and sold dirt cheap all over the world , from the UK to the US and Canada and the West Indies. Admitted that most movies are not worth a dime and waste of time , the ones which are classics lose out in uncalculated loss to the producers and distributors.
Well it hurts when copyright is violated or you don't get credit for your work- US is fighting this menace in software and music/movie videos in China, Far East and Latin America. So forget about this problem fixed in Pakistan. Its a open market for all-terrorist, mullas, pirates, thugs, crooks,.... everybody. Just as USA software or moviemakers project earnings based on US/EUROPEAN sales numbers. Bollywood should focus in India sales and work with software makers on encryption technology... and make this work in India first. Then they should worry about piracy elsewhere. Technology [cheap CD/DVD/VCD digital] created this problem. Only technology can fix it! No use crying foul.
I can understand her problems, with her films tumbling like unbalanced tenpis in India she must be desparate to look for another source of revenue and also to find a market for her shoddy films. But alas she looks her age now. It seems she is officially 30 but that's her Western-Time-ZOne age and you can guess her Eastern-Time-Zone age! With growing age, fattening body she affects a ridiculous moll doll like quality which is simply put, quite ludicrous!
Pakistan`s president Gen.Pervez mushraff & pakistani media and think tank of pakistan has been advocating to stop making pakistan centric movies in bollwood which depicts the bad side of pakistani army, but what India as well bollywood gain by stop making such movies, in fact nothing, by doing piracy of all bollywood movies they making bollywood to suffer forex loss. if pakistan wants bollywood to stop making such movies than they should act to stop piracy and open the air for imdian channels and movies
Unfortunately, your reporter is extremely uninformed. I have done quite a bit of research on exactly how the piracy system operates. The piracy of Indian films takes place in Mumbai through film labs (which are entrusted with the prints) and cinemas in smaller towns where projectionists and owners are paid to allow camera copies to be made. The copies are made in Mumbai and then delivered to Dubai and Karachi as well as within India. The masters sell for as little as 1.5-2 lakh rupees. In fact, sometimes, the films are edited down in Mumbai to take into consideration sensitivities across the border. Big name distributors are involved in this piracy, as are our law enforcement authorities who get their cut to look the other way. By the way, there is a law against Indian films exhibition and distribution in addition to a copyright law in Pakistan. Your reporters should write on only those things they know something about.
