Internet Service Providers block torrent sites on HC order
ISPs were asked to block access to popular video sharing websites such as Vimeo and DailyMotion as well as major torrent search services including The Piratebay and isoHunt apparantly following a court order obtained by Copyright Labs, a Chennai-based online anti piracy service provider.
This is based on a ‘John Doe’ order from the Madras High Court obtained by a film industry outfit in Chennai seeking protection against copyright violations of the Tamil film ‘3’. The film, somewhat ironically, came to national attention with its internet viral hit ‘Why This Kolaveri Di’.
Harish ram of the Chenai-based Copyright Labs who brought this case to court, said the list was drawn up to target “specific links and url on these sites had breked copyright, not entire websites.”
The court order names all 15 India’s most leading ISPs but does not mention the websites.
