Internet users in India using Broadband service must have recently noticed that many ISP’s have blocked a majority of popular torrent sites in India since May,16th. Besides the torrent sites and illegal file sharing services,
these leading internet service providers have also blocked access to sites such as xmarks.com, pastebin.com which is a sort of surprise as these services don’t serve any copyrighted or infringing content. According to Medianama, the reason behind this severe block is a ‘court ban’, following a John Doe order taken by Copyright Labs, Chennai, to prevent piracy of Tamil Films – Dhammu (Tamil) and 3 (Telugu).
Upon visiting any of these below listed websites on Airtel or Reliance Internet, you will see the following message “Access to this site has been blocked as per Court Orders”. On the contrary, BSNL and MTNL users are reporting that they’re able to access all the blocked sites easily. We’re not sure but this ban seems region specific as some users are able to access the banned sites in India on the above mentioned private ISP’s.
