Piracy is like a disease that affects the growth of entire film industry. Film creation is a long and expensive procedure. Unfortunately, when the actual time to reap reward comes, piracy acts like a leech and substantially reduces the movie's collection. The illegal downloads and sharing of movie files on the internet burns a huge hole in the pocket of movie makers.
