What legal actions can be taken against movie piracy in India?

In India, movie piracy is a criminal offense under the Copyright Act of 1957, which allows for stringent penalties including fines up to ₹2,00,000 and imprisonment up to 3 years for first-time offenders. Courts also have the authority to issue injunctions and demand ISPs block websites distributing pirated content. However, enforcement requires solid evidence and technical expertise.
