'Criminals can't stay hidden forever': Piracy drained Rs 3,700 crore from Telugu cinema in 2024; industry urges action
The biggest threat facing the Telugu film industry today isn't competition or content fatigue—it's piracy, a silent predator that strikes at the industry's financial lifeline. Over the past decade, piracy is estimated to have drained over Rs 20,000 crore from the industry. In 2024 alone, while box office collections ranged between Rs 1,500 crore and Rs 2,000 crore, piracy inflicted losses of nearly Rs 3,700 crore, surpassing even theatrical earnings. With nearly 200 websites across the world illegally streaming Telugu films, the industry believes that only a robust legal crackdown, particularly on digital intermediaries, can curb this growing menace. 'These criminals can't stay hidden forever. If the law holds intermediaries accountable, the actual perpetrators can be identified and prosecuted,' said A Raj Kumar, head of the anti-piracy wing, Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC).

He argued these players must not be allowed to escape liability simply by distancing themselves from the content they enable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Most piracy operations today are funded via cryptocurrency, making the money trail hard to follow. However, tracking payments to intermediaries could unlock vital leads. 'If we go after the digital enablers, piracy can be stopped at its source,' Raj Kumar said. Legal pushback begins In a proactive legal move, a production house recently approached the Hyderabad commercial court ahead of a film's release on June 2, seeking to restrain rogue websites from uploading pirated versions. The court issued an interim order, barring all respondents from hosting, streaming, or communicating the film until July 25. The next hearing is scheduled for the same date. 'The public must also do its part. Watching pirated films may seem harmless, but it directly hurts the industry,' said KL Damodar Prasad, secretary, TFCC. 'Curbing piracy helps filmmakers reinvest and create more content,' he said. Underground market The rising quality of pirated prints is another troubling factor. Pirates now use high-end smartphones or camcorders, enhance footage using software, and produce near-watchable versions within hours of release. They are reportedly paid $500 for small films and up to $1,000 for big-budget releases.

Second-hand car prices in Delhi drop due to restrictions on end-of-life vehicles, says trade body
Prices of second-hand cars in the national capital have witnessed a sharp fall in recent days, with traders reporting a decline of 40 to 50 per cent, the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) said on Friday. CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said the market for overage vehicles in Delhi has been severely affected, with nearly 60 lakh vehicles impacted by the sudden downturn. He attributed the price crash to restrictions related to End-of-Life (EOL) vehicles, which have crossed the permissible age limit for operation in Delhi. Goyal, who is also an automobile businessman, claimed that traders are being forced to sell cars at significantly lower prices. "In the last five days, the prices of second-hand cars have dropped by 40 to 50 per cent. Businessmen in Delhi are now compelled to sell vehicles at one-fourth of their original price," he said. He said that second-hand cars from Delhi are usually sold in Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. However, the demand from outside states is now accompanied by aggressive bargaining. "Luxury used cars that earlier fetched Rs six to seven lakh are now being sold for barely Rs four to five lakh. Buyers from other states are aware of the challenges faced by Delhi-based traders and are negotiating accordingly," Goyal said. He further added that over 1,000 traders in areas like Karol Bagh, Preet Vihar, Pitampura, and Moti Nagar are involved in the business of selling second-hand vehicles. Car dealers have also raised concerns over difficulties in obtaining the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Transport Department, which is required to sell used vehicles in other states. Earlier, the process was relatively smooth, but now traders say they are facing delays and complications. The Delhi government had banned fuel for end-of-life vehicles -- 10 years or older for diesel vehicles and 15 years or older for petrol vehicles -- that are deregistered and not allowed to ply on the roads from July 1, following a court order. However, on Thursday, the government requested the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to put the ban on hold with immediate effect, arguing that the fuel ban on overage vehicles is not feasible due to technological challenges.
