Can anybody actually not access goo.gl?

All the links in the bar above are goo.gl

One good thing is that they blocked google services so google with its money can hire lawyers and challenge the order.

 

[Sushubh]

googlevideo.com is blocked. Contents of YouTube are hosted on that domain too, isn't it?

 

[Sushubh]

From what I understand YouTube would fetch the videos from the nearest server which for popular videos could be something in your ISPs own datacenter.

The govt did not order the block. Sony asked for the block.

 

[Sushubh]

So Google would sue the court?

 

[sTrOnTiaBOnd]

No, they would probably ask for stay order and then contest the order against Sony.

LOL .
