A report by EY and the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), titled "The Rob Report," estimated the size of India's "piracy economy" at a staggering INR 224 billion (Rs. 22,400 crore) in 2023. To put this in perspective, the revenue lost to piracy in a single year is nearly equivalent to the entire annual revenue of some of India's largest media and entertainment segments. While a separate report noted an 18% decline in film piracy in 2024 compared to the previous year, the scale of the problem remains immense.
