U.S.-India Business Council Lauds Success of “Slumdog Millionaire”

Summary:

This press release, issued by the U.S.-India Business Council applauds the success of the movie Slumdog Millionaire and draws attention to the problem of entertainment piracy in India. The USIBC President points out that piracy translates not only into financial losses, but 'squandered creativity', that potentially prevents quality movies like Slumdog from even being made. The USIBC suggests that due to the growing connection between Bollywood and Hollywood, both U.S. and Indian governments must increase their efforts to crack down on entertainment piracy. Their FICCI FRAMES conference to be held this year in Mumbai will feature a delegation of Hollywood heavyweights and focus on protecting creative content and intellectual property.
