Abstract

As a tiny step in the direction of gaining a critical perspective on the problem of intellectual property theft, this research has been done by the researcher. People’s lives would not be complete without some form of entertainment. Over time, the monotony of the daily grind wears on people, reducing their energy and productivity. It’s entertainment that gives us new life and vigour, allowing us to continue forward in our lives. Since the dawn of human civilisation, entertainment has been a part of our daily lives. Various forms of entertainment have been widespread in different communities and time periods. Movies have become among the greatest dominant forms of entertainment for the past 100 years because they are easily accessible to people from all walks of life at a relatively low cost. For example, our lifestyles, fashion, and clothing habits were profoundly affected not just by movies but also by the growth of the entertainment business in general. Learned a great deal about how entertainment trends have influenced our way of life and values. Every aspect of human life has been profoundly altered by the advent of the Information Age. In our minds, the entire globe has been reduced to a tiny town. Much has been changed in the film business as a result of the most recent technical advances, from the speed with which films in softcopy format are sent by satellite to the overall quality of the films being produced today Since the beginning of movie production and distribution, technology has continued to have an impact on the film business. However, it has also emerged as a phantom threat in the shape of peer-to-peer online file sharing, which encourages movie piracy in both hard copy (DVD/CD) and soft copy formats
