Indian court backs producer against cable operators
HOLLYWOOD - A court in New Delhi has barred cable operators throughout India from showing a film that is being released in theaters only today (Friday). Santoshi Productions had claimed that four cable Indian cable operators had obtained pirated copies of the Hindi film Lajja and were planning to show them on their network. According to the Times of India, a complaint filed by the filmmaker said in part, "Piracy of films has become a tool in the hands of the cable operators to increase their subscriber base."
