Why is it illegal to leak or watch leaked content online?

In India, the law prohibits citizens to use any illegal or torrent websites for streaming or downloading purposes. If a person is ever caught using Tamilrockers, Movierulz and other torrent sites, the Indian government has all the authorisation to punish the individual as per the piracy law. There are multiple laws in India against online piracy to safeguard actors and moviemakers' livelihoods. In India, the Copyright Act, 1957 protects all type of music, songs, and videos, literary and artistic work. The Stop Online Piracy Act (STOP) is also one such act that restricts access to sites that host pirated content. The prime aim behind the piracy law is to stop or crackdown on copyright infringement.
