IMI's internet anti-piracy team, while closely working with International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), has managed to close 500 sites, mostly based on servers in the USA, he said. Licenses have been issued to radio stations, television broadcasters (including those showing some new-age music-based reality shows) and big portals allowing streaming and downloading of music on the internet, IMI General Secretary Savio D'Souza said. IMI, which issues licenses through its wings Indian Phonographic Ltd (PPL) and Indian Performing Rights Society (IPRS), has tied up with all telecom operators for legitimate use of music, he said.

This market would grow further with the advent of 3G (third generation) service phones opening newer avenues of possible intellectual property theft by way of Caller Ring Back Caller Service (CRBT), Embedded tones, background music, full track downloads, mobile radio and streaming and downloading of music, which bring joy and listening pleasure to the consumers, Lazarus said. With the current boom in the 'mobile entertainment segment', Indian market is expected to reach more than 300 million users making it among the top ten countries in the world in terms of mobile density. If they still refrain from doing so, legal action is taken,' he said. 'We try to inform and convince them the violation and motivate them to procure legitimate licences. But, larger establishments like a lavish hotels or a bustling disco joints are certainly our targets,' Lazarus said. 'IMI, which represents around 142 music companies, is not concentrating on small-time outlets violating the law at present, due to lack of awareness. This means music-driven trade outlets like discotheques, hotels organising public music-based functions like New Year parties, coffee shops relying on instrumental or vocal pieces or even the barber shop playing a Bollywood number might be violating the law if they don't procure proper licences, he said.
