EntMnt Xclusive Vishwaroopam to be released on DTH (Airtel Digital TV, Dish TV, Tata Sky & Videocon d2h )

In fact Piracy starts from Outside India only. These Indian Producers and Directors have a habit of releasing movies aboard 1st rather than India. So, they deserve to face the heat of piracy.

J

When they send the copies to international market, an insider would make the pirate copies.

Yeah and being a foreign movie even the distributor or their staff don't care about Indian profit.

They have got better piracy techniques too. So many a time even before movie is released in India, it's pirated copy is available on Internet

Kamal Hassan’s Viswaroopam on foreign DTH



Kamal Hassan is in talks with Malaysia’s Astro (partner with Sun Direct) and Singapore’s Sing Tel as well as with some European and Australia DTH operators to air Viswaroopam.

Even as the theatre owners in parts of Tamil Nadu and the distributors of North India are up in arms against Kamal Hassan’s move to air Viswaroopam one day before release on DTH, the actor has been in contact with foreign players for a wider global release.

Airtel which has 30% share of DTH in Tamil Nadu says that the pricing of the movie is the deciding factor for DTH players to put it on their platform. Airtel had got in the deal with sharing of revenue from downloads, say sources.

Airtel however admitted that the film can be stored in a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for one day after which it would get erased. The film stored would be encrypted so that the source from where it was copied would be known. According to those in IT sector, the film can be copied and codes erased by certain software.

As far as Airtel is considered, it is doing the role of a distributor and pays a percentage of its revenue to the producer. The piracy issue is not its brief.

So Airtel is wasting money in this film without giving us HD channel.

 

[IndianMascot]

I didn't thought about this angle . On the other hand they might be looking to earn some profit so that they could afford ESPN HD & Star Cricket HD Channels on their platform back. :tongue:

 

[piinku1]

They have 1tp space fully left ,but not adding from march/april.
But d2h is adding channels in full gear by adjusting some space in tp.

Their is a Urdu Proverb, " Himmat-e-Marda , Madad-e-Khuda " applies on Tata Sky & Videocon. Others are trying to encash money out of nothing at present.
