The biggest competitor faced by both Hollywood and Bollywood in India is piracy, said Dan Glickman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) at a CII meeting here on Monday.
“The film industry needs strong laws to support copyright, strong enforcement of those laws, stiff sentences for people who violate those laws and most important, an understanding by ordinary citizens, the people who love movies, that buying pirated movies hurts the industry and makes it difficult for movie makers to make new films,” Glickman said, adding that in India, the MPA has been actively fighting piracy for last ten years.
Appreciating the effort by Indian counterpart, he said that Hyderabad Film Chambers worked with the Andhra Pradesh Government to create India’s first dedicated court to oversee film piracy cases.
