But let’s put a pin in that for the moment. Eventually someone will be prosecuted, and dollars to donuts, it will be some poor person who just got a pre-paid smartphone connection. These legal notices aren’t just showing up for fun. Torrenting will continue apace, however, there will be casualties. The ones who aren’t already using VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and Tor will quickly adapt. So it doesn’t matter what warning signals and legal threats might appear on the horizon. Avid pirates also tend to be technically adept and can bypass all manner of network filtering. And they delete as much as they download. They have a voracious appetite for online entertainment, and influence their peers with critical opinions. The most avid pirates tend to be true fans.

Study after study confirms that the internet’s most avid “pirates” also spend significantly more money on copyrighted content - whether films, music, games, or software - than consumers who purchase digital content through legal channels. And whilst the letter of copyright law is one thing, the reality of online consumption is another. We have an abundance of access and privilege. The richer, more educated we are, the more we torrent. It’s a way we all get stuff, rich and poor. What heinous threat to the nation does merely looking at a torrent link pose? Is this the same as child pornography?

Now if one even views a proscribed URL - let alone attempts a download - the courts threaten a three year jail sentence and Rs three lakh fine. Recent legal notices on blocked torrent links are equally bizarre. Bollywood and exaggeration go hand in hand. One prominent producer has gone so far as equating support of online piracy with endorsing terrorism. Film production houses are outraged and have claimed spectacular losses. Much of this content is copyrighted, thus pirated. Files of every kind are traded, shared and copied online. The means of piracy has largely shifted from the analogue to the digital. Several generations have studied, graduated and become contributing members of society. Whether it was because they couldn’t afford the books, or the texts were not widely available, students formed one of the largest cohorts of pirates in India. Students have been violating copyright law as long as there have been photocopiers. Copyright has always been a serious issue in India and at the same time, it’s dealt with practically and with a certain amount of elasticity.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose (the more things change, the more they stay the same). Bollywood, that’s like the pot calling the kettle black. And that problem is torrenting and online piracy.

And despite running a world class money-laundering operation - and record profits year after year - Bollywood thinks there’s a problem, although not its own criminality. Black money flows into production houses like oil to churn out television, film and music.
