KFCC plans Anti-Piracy Squad, seeks govt's permission
Watching pirated film CDs will be a thing of the past in Karnataka as the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) is girding up to clampdown on such activities. A powerful Anti-Piracy Squad (APS) is to be set up soon, whose job will be to crackdown on pirated CDs and DVDs.
Confirming this, KFCC chairman Basanth Kumar Patil said retired police officers would head the squad. The government too has been informed about the move. Insiders said the cost of managing the squad that is Rs 10 lakh per month will be taken care of by Kannada film industry.
Patil announced that the squad will start functioning in August. Besides, it will also have the power to perform raids on outlets involved in piracy. But for turning this into a reality the film industry has to take permission from the state government. Will the government allow the film industry to take such a drastic step? Veteran actress, producer and former KFCC chairperson Jayamala is confident that the government will not block the move. She said: 'We have been considering to form such squad for long. If it gets a go ahead it will be easy for us to conduct raids and control this menace. We will do this by taking the government into confidence so it won't be illegal.' But Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari disagrees with Jayamala on this count. He said: 'Private squad cannot be given the authority to conduct raids. It has to inform us about the pirated CD trade and then we will take action.' Patil was not available for comment. When contacted by TSI he said he was busy in meetings and thus won't be able to speak on APS. In the past couple of years, the cinema and music industry in the state have lost Rs 250 crore to piracy. And thus they are pushing for the setting up of the APS. The government too is seriously taking the issue.
Earlier, the state government implemented Goonda Act for containing piracy of films and music. The police have already performed thousands of raids and captured lakhs of CDs.
