This book takes a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach by engaging in participatory research with different intellectual communities to understand the divergent perspectives surrounding piracy in India. This novel study travels through an important, yet neglected dimension of law: the interface between the legality/illegality and the social reception of it.
Piracy in the Indian Film Industry: Copyright and Cultural Consonance sheds light on how copyright law works at the grassroots level in India, by exploring the social, cultural, historical, legal and economic dimensions of piracy in one of the biggest copyright-based industries: the Indian film industry. Based on extensive fieldwork, this book provides novel and insightful findings on the complexity and diversity of perceptions regarding piracy within Indian society. The bottom-up approach to analysis adopted in the book elucidates how local factors influence copyright enforcement and the book proposes a mix of positive and negative incentives to increase the voluntary compliance of copyright law in India.
