Piracy has been a significant concern for the film industry for decades. The advent of the internet and digital technology has made it easier for pirates to distribute copyrighted content, including movies, without the permission of the copyright holders. The proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks, torrent sites, and video streaming platforms has made it increasingly difficult to control the dissemination of pirated content.

The film industry has been severely impacted by piracy, with estimated losses running into billions of dollars worldwide. The Indian film industry, in particular, has been struggling to combat piracy, with many Bollywood movies being leaked online before their official release. The proliferation of pirated content has also led to a decline in DVD sales and a shift to online piracy.

The rise of digital technology and the widespread use of the internet have transformed the way people access and consume entertainment content, including movies. The ease of availability of movies and TV shows online has led to a significant increase in the number of people downloading or streaming content from various online platforms. However, this trend has also raised concerns about copyright infringement, piracy, and the impact on the film industry. This paper focuses on the illicit practice of downloading movies in 720p, using the Bollywood movie "Vivah" as a case study.
