Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu on Thursday said the government will take strong measures to check video piracy.
“Mobile courts will be operated to check video piracy and those who will be found involved in such crimes will be punished instantly through mobile court,” he told reporters after a meeting with a delegation of Film Producers and Distributors Association at his ministry.
The minister also said the Copy Right Act, 2000 will be made time-befitting one to combat video piracy.
Inu said, the cable operators in the country will not be allowed to screen local and foreign movies through their own channels.
“Action will be taken if they screen any movie defying the government ban. Deputy Commissioners will be given directive in this regard,” he added.
