Artists lose millions in earnings
Producer Hisham Tahsin revealed that the Egyptian drama industry suffers annual losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars due to content piracy and theft. These losses are estimated to account for between 50% and 75% of the industry's revenues. The theft often involves reusing and reselling original works to media outlets outside Egypt. He pointed out that technological advancements have contributed to improving the quality of pirated content, and that efforts to combat piracy face legal and procedural challenges at the international level, due to differing intellectual property protection laws between countries. Tahsin called for strengthening international protection mechanisms and providing funding and insurance for works, in order to safeguard producers' rights and ensure the continuous presence of Egyptian drama in foreign markets.
