[icernet] Govt willing to control film piracy

[Arul Selvan]

  Information and broadcasting minister Ravi Shankar Prasad took the 
film industry to task for blaming all its ills on piracy, without taking 
steps to educate the public on the menance. Addressing members of the 
South Indian Film industry, he said the industry had not taken any steps 
to educate the public on the menace. If the film industry produced good 
content and quality films, people would throng the cinema houses. The 
industry should attempt to make films like "Monsoon Wedding", he said. 
He said the government was willing to bring legislations to control the 
menance of piracy, but it could be implemented only if there was a 
public awareness.
