The rise of streaming services and web series has revolutionized the way we consume entertainment content. However, this shift has also led to an increase in piracy, with many websites and platforms offering unauthorized downloads of popular shows. One such website is Filmyzilla, which has been notorious for leaking copyrighted content, including the web series "Bhram". This paper aims to explore the issue of web series piracy, with a focus on "Bhram" and Filmyzilla.

The impact of piracy on the entertainment industry cannot be overstated. According to a report by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the Indian entertainment industry loses approximately ₹18,000 crore annually due to piracy. Web series piracy, in particular, has become a major concern, as it not only affects the revenue of content creators but also compromises the quality and integrity of the content.

The case of "Bhram" on Filmyzilla is a prime example of how piracy can affect a web series. The show's creators, ALTBalaji, had taken measures to prevent piracy, including using digital rights management (DRM) technology to protect their content. However, Filmyzilla was able to circumvent these measures and make the series available for download. This not only resulted in financial losses for the creators but also affected the show's overall performance.
