The number of pirate CDs sold around the world rises to 1.1bn says a news report.
In India we have a huge market for the pirated cds - both movies and music cds.
One main reason for the success of this illegal business is the high cost of the international DVDs and CDs .
Where as there is also a big market for the pirated film cds for India n new movies too.This is because the high priced movie ticket rates in the multiplexes in the cities. The minimum cost for a middle class family of 4 to watch a movie in the theaters would sum up to Rs.500/-Most of the theaters in chennai sells a ticket for rs.150/- to rs.170/-
Nowadays with the low cost original cds and dvds from companies like Moser baer helps in the reduction of the pirated cds.
It is a welcoming change.
