I guess, these ISPs have just gone wild and blocked a lot of things even the ones not in the court order. Apparently, as per the hindu article, this is a mistake and was not intended. http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/article3429836.ece "Harish Ram, CEO, Copyright Labs, hired by producers of the movie 3, R K Productions Private Limited, for the online anti-piracy management of the movie, said that the ISPs had misinterpreted the order. “Instead of blocking specific URLs that were screening the movie, they blocked the whole sites,” he said.." I wonder if there is a clause in the court order to remove the block after a specific period of time. IMO, the ISPs might just forget to remove the block and its us who face problems in the end. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
