Filmyzilla's owners and operators have been accused of facilitating online piracy and profiting from it. The website's activities have been condemned by the film industry, and several FIRs have been filed against its owners and operators.
Online piracy has significant financial implications for the film industry. According to a report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the global film industry loses billions of dollars each year due to online piracy.
The internet has revolutionized the way we consume media, and the film industry has been significantly impacted by this shift. With the rise of online streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar, audiences can now access a vast library of movies and TV shows from the comfort of their own homes. However, this convenience has also led to an increase in online piracy.
Ghosh has emphasized that online piracy not only affects the box office collection of a movie but also impacts the entire ecosystem of the film industry, including producers, distributors, and exhibitors. He has urged audiences to opt for legitimate streaming platforms or purchase DVDs/ Blu-rays of the movie to support the film industry.
