Will I go to jail or face a fine for illegally downloading a movie?

 

According to the piracy law in India, a private is taken to the court and if he/she is proven that he/she has knowingly infringed or helped somebody else infringe and download a copyrighted movie from piracy websites, then it might be considered to be a criminal act. Under the law, the punishment for an individual being convicted for his or her first such offense may be a jail term between six months and three years, with a fine anywhere between Rs.50,000 and Rs.200,000 (depending on the seriousness of the offense). We advise our users from avoiding such illegal downloads of flicks.
