Enforcement of Anti-piracy Laws by the Indian Entertainment Industry: by Prasad Krishna — published Jan 22, 2010 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 04:35 AM — filed under: Piracy, Intellectual Property Rights, Access to Knowledge
This brief note by Siddharth Chadha seeks to map out the key actors in enforcement of copyright laws. These bodies not only investigate cases of infringement and piracy relating to the entertainment industry, but tie up with the police and IP law firms to pursue actions against the offenders through raids (many of them illegal) and court cases. Siddharth notes that the discourse on informal networks and circuits of distribution of cultural goods remains hijacked with efforts to contain piracy as the only rhetoric which safeguards the business interests of big, mostly multinational, media corporations.
