New Delhi: In a measure to alter the Cinematograph Act, the government has suggested punishing anyone who make illegal copies of films with up to three years in prison and a fine of up to five percent of the film's production cost.
In addition to eliminating the 10-year validity limit for the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur introduced the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill-2023 in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
On Friday, the Bill was released to the general public.—Inputs from Agencies
