After twenty minutes of navigating pop-ups, fake buttons, and redirects, Raj finally found a working link. A file began downloading.

While he waited, he scrolled through the Vegamovies homepage. The sheer volume of content was staggering. Movies still running in theatres. Web series from platforms that cost hundreds of rupees per month. Everything free, everything illegal.
He noticed something else — small ads running along the margins. Betting sites. Cryptocurrency schemes. Unverified pharmaceutical products. This was how Vegamovies made money. Not from the movies themselves, but from the traffic they generated.

Raj frowned. "One download doesn't hurt anyone."
"Maybe not. But multiply that by — what — a million people? Ten million? That's a lot of lost revenue. And it's not just rich Hollywood studios. Think about the crew. The set designers. The stunt performers. The post-production guys working eighteen-hour shifts."
