Torrent Sites Unblocked in India Finally

As per latest court order, Indian ISPs have unblocked video-sharing, file-sharing, torrent site like vimeo.com, thepiratebay, torrentz, pastebin


It was in news last month that following Reliance, Airtel had also blocked torrent services and video sites after they received the ‘John Doe’ court order. Thousands of users from various states of India found the access to torrents blocked.

The court said in its updated ruling, according to Medianama (Indian News Site), which obtained a copy  of the order which specifically states that the copyright holder has to list the infringing URL, instead of demanding the shutoff of an entire website, that "the interim injunction is granted only in respect of a particular URL where the infringing movie is kept and not in respect of the entire website. Further, the applicant is directed to inform about the particulars of URL where the interim movie is kept within 48 hours."


Starting with the movie Singham, for which Reliance Entertainment had taken a John Doe order last year, movie studios have been consistently getting John Doe orders blocking access to file sharing, video sharing and torrenting websites.

It is well known that Hacker gave Deadline of June 9, to Indian Government, after they start hacking Indian Government Site. It works a lot.
