Being patriotic is more then contributing through these taxes .

Yes paying is our job for nations welfare ... And there are many ways of paying taxes and increasing fund . But it's certainly not a parameter to measure Patriotism .

And I do watch movies in theatre by sorry can't watch all .
I have manage my whole month in the salary whatever I get after paying my taxes which I pay with all honesty .

Please this Privavcy thing makes sense when there are few movies releSsing I entire year . A normal middle class movie buff can't afford to watch all movies in theatre


Then watch the movie in TV. It comes very quickly 1-2 months. How tough it is to wait for the TV premiere? I for instance could have watched something like HF3 online but watched it on TV when it premiered.

Film piracy funding terror: US thinktank

S Balakrishnan | TNN | Mar 7, 2009, 04.25 AM IST

MUMBAI: The leading US thinktank, Rand Corporation, has confirmed what Indian intelligence agencies have been maintaining all along" Dawood Ibrahim has graduated to terrorism and is siphoning off millions of dollars earned from film piracy, drug-running and other crimes to finance his operations.
According to sources in the film industry and police, the moment a film is released in Mumbai, the 'D-Company' makes camera prints and sends them to Karachi or Kuala Lumpur where millions of DVDs are made and marketed across the world. But after the Mumbai-based Valuable Group introduced satellite transmission of films directly to cinema halls, it has become difficult for the gang to make camera prints as each cinema hall has a secret identity number encrypted into the movie. To avoid this, gang members have established links with small-time theatres in Gujarat where the camera prints are taken at the first show of any new film.
The gang also receives advance prints of the films financed by it through front companies. "Contrary to general impression, the D-Company is still active in Bollywood," a film producer says.
"Dawood is India's godfather of godfathers who runs criminal gangs from Bangkok to Dubai. His gang syndicate, called D-Company, engages in strong-arm protection, drug trafficking, extortion and murder-for-hire," the Rand report says.
It says that film piracy can be more paying than drug-trafficking. The report says a pirated DVD made in Malaysia for 70 cents is marked up more than 1,000% and sold in London for about $9. "The profit margin is more than three times higher than the mark-up for Iranian heroin and higher than the profit from Columbian cocaine," the report says.
Identifying Al-Mansoor and Sadaf brands belonging to Dawood, the report says he has acquired extraordinary market power in the distribution of pirated films throughout the region. The report says the D-Company has got control of Sadaf Trading Company based in Karachi, and thus allowing it to manage distribution network in Pakistan and also acquiring the infrastructure to manufacture pirate VHS tapes and VCDs for sale.

2) The copies are then digitally mastered: As soon as the first copy is made, the video file is transferred to locations in Pakistan (specifically on the outskirts of Karachi). The agent who had made the copy is paid through hawala. This agent vanishes from the network the moment the video file is found to be in order. The copies are again mastered in Pakistan and digitally revised to make it look better. A separate downloadable format is made for smartphones. Now, the files are ready to be transferred again.

3) The files start reaching certain video sharing sites: There are about 200 private networks and video sharing sites who buy these files from its Pakistani counterparts. These video sharing sites and private networks buy the files and then put it up on their sites for downloads. Now, you need to pay money for the downloads and only members can download these films. Websites who get access to these films need to pay somewhere around Rs 10 lakhs each to get access to these films. Once that money is paid to a particular account, the file is transferred to again. The terrorist organisation now completely moves away from the network.

We are not professional soldiers to fight terrorists and Pakistani army at our borders. But its in our hands to do small things like watching movies legally to make sure life isnt difficult for our soldiers at the borders. This is the least we can do. I know many people arent aware of these implications of piracy but even if one pair of eyes are opened today I will be happy. Enough of topic being diverted from my end.

My mistake and hence my apologies. I missed that. And yes I do a lot for my country India like watching movies in cinemas instead of watching pirated versions of films online so that the taxes collected via sale of tickets at the box office goes to government coffers which in turn is used to pay salaries of the soldiers and other men in uniform when they are alive and pensions when they are retired or dead, This is better than giving a one time cheque of Rs.5 lakhs to Rs, 10 lakhs which would get over in 1 year max and then no one will check on them after brownie points are won. And yes I do other stuff too but dont want to discuss them here so as not to give out personal information. I hope this satisfies you and inspires you to contribute to your original motherland ie Nepal atleast by watching all movies you do watch in the cinemas wherever you are.


Funny You had to bring my Citizenship into play to prove a point.
(Don't get why people here are so hung up on it like I am hiding it )
If you are implying that I shouldn't be talking since I am not part of India then I feel sorry for you .India is still part of this world and our neighbor.

Not that I have to prove anything to you or anyone but do look up "Sahayog" and I can proudly say it here and anywhere that this charity was founded by my friends and I . We built schools and provided food and other necessities during earthquake and are continuing to help better our community.
I also provide financial help to "Blink Network" and My family Runs Local Red Cross.
I can link the website or any other information anywhere.
( Some people from IF have contributed for my charity as well when I had shared it so Thank you)

My contribution to my country and people go beyond watching movies.

As for Indian movies ,we ,My family and I have, watched a lot of Bollywood movies and continue to watch most movies in theater in US. Our contribution is as much as yours if not more.
