Global IP laws have been viewed as a Western imposition detrimental to national interests. In this paper, I will make the case for a “realist” approach to film piracy in India, i.e., an approach that is rooted in legal pragmatism and draws from the New Legal Realism (NLR) movement. I will suggest a rough template for such an approach, referring to seven broad elements: a) international relations realism; b) contextualization of IP; c) contextualization of copyright; d) the views and interests of the film industry (including creators); e) the working of the pirate economy; f) the law and its enforcement; and g) reforms in the law and industry strategies. In keeping with the spirit of NLR, I will explore a range of top-down and bottom-up perspectives. I will conclude by commenting on the feasibility of certain legal reforms. 000041926 525__ $$aPublished in : Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law, vol. 34, no. 3 000041926 650_0 $$aCopyright piracy 000041926 650_0 $$aFilm industry 000041926 650_0 $$aPirate economy 000041926 650_0 $$aLaw 000041926 650_0 $$zIndia 000041926 85641 $$uhttp://www.cardozoaelj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BANERJEE-ARTICLE.pdf$$yView this resource 000041926 904__ $$aJournal article 000041926 980__ $$aBIB
