The internet has revolutionized the way we consume entertainment, and the film industry is no exception. With the advent of streaming services and online platforms, accessing movies and TV shows has become easier than ever. However, this convenience has also led to a surge in online piracy, with websites like Thiruttumovies com and Tamilrockers at the forefront of this illicit trade.
In India, the film industry has been particularly hard hit. A report by the Film Federation of India (FFI) estimated that online piracy costs the Indian film industry over ₹1,000 crore (approximately $137 million USD) annually.
The impact of online movie piracy on the film industry cannot be overstated. According to a report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), online piracy results in losses of over $29 billion annually.
