Apart from this, the government will also include anti-camcording provisions in the Cinematography Act to control film piracy.
With the rise of piracy websites like TamilRockers and Filmywap, entire films are leaked online and made available for free download within hours of release. To combat this menace, these provisions will be introduced.
