While rare in India, ISPs have started sending warning emails to users who download high-volume copyrighted content. In Western countries, users have been sued for thousands of dollars. In India, The Digital News Publishers Association has pushed for stricter logging of pirate IP addresses.
Despite their appeal, platforms like Moviemad pose several challenges:
Many users assume the only risk of piracy is "being scolded." The reality is far more dangerous. In 2021, cybersecurity firms reported a spike in malware infections originating from Moviemad’s ad network.
