Bhutanese authorities highlight growing film piracy as a serious criminal issue, stressing economic and legal impacts.
Bhutan is confronting a rising tide of film piracy that law enforcement now classifies as a major criminal concern. Officials warn that unauthorized distribution and sale of copyrighted films are causing significant financial losses to producers and distributors, while also undermining legal entertainment channels. The Royal Bhutan Police and related agencies are working to strengthen enforcement, public awareness campaigns, and cross‑border cooperation to curb illegal streaming and physical piracy networks.
