    70 Websites including RapidShare and ThePirateBay blocked in India by ISPs

    Reliance ADA has resorted to a new technique to stop piracy of its latest movie release, DON 2. Reliance has sought a "John Doe" order from the Delhi High Court, where the Court has ordered that the ISPs and Cable networks should ensure that pirated copies of the movie DON2 should not available through their network.

    RelianceADA, through Sanjay Tandon, VP Music and Anti-Piracy, has sent a mail to one of our ISPs, asking them to cooperate and block 70 websites for a week. This is a blanket ban using the Court Order as a shield.

    Here is a copy of the list that they have asked to be banned. This list includes top file sharing sites like RapidShare and ThePirateBay.

    The Hon'ble High Court order dated 19th December is also attached, where these websites are not mentioned and a blanket ban is not permitted or asked for. It appears that instead of banning the objectionable content and ensuring that piracy is curbed, the ISPs also take the easy route and ban everysite that may be used to distribute the content in question.

    Given the actions of the Content owner and the ISPs, it appears that the Government's plan to monitor online content will finally lead to banning the Social Networking sites in India.

    Till then...
