In summary, movie piracy is the unauthorized copying, distribution, or streaming of movies without the permission of the copyright holder. It can have a significant impact on independent filmmakers, resulting in lost revenue and decreased opportunities for future projects. To protect their work, filmmakers can use digital watermarking technology, limit advance screenings, and educate their audience on the importance of supporting legal distribution. Movie piracy is a problem for the film industry as a whole, affecting revenue and funding for projects. Engaging in piracy can lead to legal consequences and harm the industry and filmmakers' livelihoods.
