plus airtel probably reserves the right to do whatever they want to do to preserve the sanctity of their network based on their terms and conditions.
 
Looks like a clear case of lobbying by the music industry as well as certain Film studios.ISPs like Airtel and Reliance should be sued for providing misleading Info to the customer.The earlier block messages clearly mentioned that DOT has ordered the block.
 
The message I currently get on blocked sites is "This website/URL has been blocked until further notice either pursuant to Court orders or on the Directions issued by the Department of Telecommunications"As such, since the DoT has confirmed that they didn't order a block, now you probably need to file something to find out if the court itself did.
 
well the court order from march states that isps have to prevent piracy. no document has been released that talks about specific domains. in any case, block on domains like sedo and buydomains has NOTHING to do with piracy etc. so the entire block is a ****ing joke on the internet users in the country.

No, the existing *law* says that we have to prevent piracy of desi content.

While I'm not disputing the confirmation that nothing was ordered from the DoT, I am saying that it's entirely possible that these blockages were NOT ordered by the DoT and were in fact issued by *a* court (I seem to remember the supreme court's name being thrown around), which would mean that we now have to find out if the court did in fact issue such an order AND what domains that order covers (and in the cases of sedo.co.uk etc why those domains are there). I assume the RTI covers such information?
 
Yeah I think I saw that one... surely then, one would have to wonder how they decided sites like robtex, pastebin etc got on the list for pretty much all ISPs.
 
This is just a lame action by the ISPs to prevent themselves from being charged for enabling piracy, in response to the John Doe order. While I am all for the John Doe order, I do not like the way it is being used as an excuse by the ISPs to do some technically retarded stuff.
