India Bans Popular Filesharing Websites

what??? The moment i read this article i typed in the site address! I had no issues viewing the site and yes i live in trivandrum! are you sure its banned?

Looks like some evidence about Indian governments massive corruption has been put on file sharing website, or why should they do a thing like this?

wow...so much fuss for a movie...i hope its worth it.

As if their loot of the public exchequer (and thereby the Indian taxpayer) in the pretext of oil prospecting and exploration was not enough, Reliance is trying to (unfairly) influence the policy makers to further their business interests, in this case, to effect a blanket ban on file-sharing websites. Screw these people!

May be its possible to list down all the successful movies released after Broadband in India, but why the Reliance is thinking that a Good movie wont be successful due to Piracy. As an example just take the case of latest Hit "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara " and "Ready" even if all these piracy is their still these movies, in my city are running with houseful boards. Again reliance proved How they will use their money power to challenge the democracy of this country.

internet is supposed to be totally free in all the aspects . All the isps will suffer a loss in the internet using subscriptions. If it was done for Singham maybe it will be over soon else if it has been done by the DOT then the isps will eventually have very less net users. But still no one has that right to block particular site and that too without notice.

This move is uncalled for and totally unjustified. They those who make such decisions are fools, coz any moron surfing the internet knows how to get by such blocks. What purpose did the blocks serve? Have they lost their mind? I read a comment somewhere saying block the internet totally, i mean this is seriously the biggest joke and for heavens sake, who the hell is reliance to decide the fate of those visiting those sites? I understand they have the rights to the movie but they cannot dictate terms to any1. All i can say is insane...for a shite movie.

Im using Reliance Broadband but got a solution to it... Download ULTRASURF from http://www.ultrareach.com/download_en.htm ...either for IE or Mozilla.......if u download it for IE it will work in Chrome too... if you are using IDM or any other download manager....then make sure u disable it for Google Chrome,mozilla,IE or any other browser u r using....Google chrome(and other browsers) should download those files using its default downloader.....after all this open mediafire(and other banned sites) link...and download....and stay happy.....

INDIA IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.SO, SOME ****** PEOPLE CANN'T take DECISION OVER OUR LIKES.It seems we living in china .ALL HAIL OUR UPA GOVT.

This is a blatant infringements of our rights, they cannot censor websites just because some big shot company pulls strings for them. Boycott Singham!

The UPA Govt. should show this type of pro-activeness in fighting corruption, terrorism, and bringing back black money, instead of issuing a blanket ban on file-sharing sites under pressure from Reliance. BTW the torrent sites are all working fine where bulk of piracy occurs.

Internet should be free. Once again the government has proved that it is a mock upon itself. It should better concentrate upon other serious matters than applying blanket ban upon websites. Better help in developing better antipiracy techniques rather than applying ban.

To revenge it..... Dont go to watch "Singham" in theater !!! Long live freedom! Long live internet!!

I am Bsnl user. The site doesn't work. Then i checked my DNS settings. I have been using OPEN DNS Servers. i swithched back to BSNL DNS Servers, now i can access all the sites. it look all the pron sites, file sharing sites are blocked.

working fine for me ...i am a bsnl user. Bsnl Rocks

Can anyone why is the communisty party flag pictured in this post????

Sign a petition against this here pls!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/filesharingindia/

lets all lobby to ban internet to prevent digital piracy and hacking and bla bla bla. long live internet freedom...

Why not ban the Internet and ban all production of dvd player, tv , lcd screens, computers, smart phones, memory cards that may be used to spread or watch pirated movies so that the public will watch the movie only in the theaters. free speech and net neutrality are being made a target for vested interests.

And how does that communist flag connect with the article? Don't make political connotations if you don't know much of politics. I am still able to open mediafire and rapidshare websites, maybe coz i use google dns. It's a stupid move by govt. nonetheless.

Why cant the govt take action on every city market flooded with pirated movies? Looks like currupt BABUS & piracy business is on decline as people prefer to download movies than buying on pirated stuff on road.

now that is what I call 'Bull$#!+'... how deep this govt will fall !!!
