I agree with boomhari. Movies these days are not even worth the download! Given the Internet speeds in India, it’s unreasonable to expect that piracy here is going to be as huge as in the U.S. A movie takes 12 mins to download in the U.S., it takes more than 24 hours to do the same here!

When it comes to software though, I wholeheartedly support original software–as long as it is affordable. You cannot sell original software in India that is expensive even by U.S. standards. It’s about time organizations realize the market potential India has and uses volume to make its sales instead of margins!

Copyright laws should be protected.. but the fact is that movies nowadays are not good enough to pirate. I mean they are worth nothing. Its the same fighting,kissing,fu**ing and destructive concepts. The best way to punish these producers is to pirate their movies to hell and make them poppers. We should and are responsible citizens of the world to support good movies, good software reasonably priced by buying them. If we don’t support it.. it will be lost forever.

well,The newspaper doesnt gain anything out of this.The readers do.And yes,no other newspaper in India would do such a thin,AFAIK.

Really a bold step by HT.My only worry is,this will bring unwanted attention from the ISP’s and probably the **AA’s! Who knows ! [Not that they didnt know anything before though,but still..].

They shouldnt have written” NO need to pay any more” etc.!!!

Hehe. Stories like this make me smile. Of course, advocating theft would be silly of me but I don’t mind being silly if people want to have different opions on the definition of ownership and theft when it comes down to noughts and one’s.
Hooraay for the newspaper for putting it plainly when other media try to act as if there is nothing of the kind going on…yet anyone can do a google search and see just how rampant torrenting is.

India shows the way! Very good of Hindustan Times. It’s time to stop this US madness of imposed global copyrights and patents to extort money from poorer countries, in the name of US companies “protecting their investments”.
