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

My web site has been subjected to this kind of blockage both from Tata and MTNL.

Re: [Ilugc] [OT] Indian Court Order
There was this recent uproar about Reliance. The following is a snippet from India anon ops press conf: [14:38] The target ISP was Reliance. [14:38] And we got the entire list of the blocked sites from them. [14:38] And guess what it contained. [14:39] It contained the list of all Government blocked sites. [14:39] but it contained more too, [14:40] It contained sites and URL that neither the public not the Government has even heard of. [14:40] Example is : links linking to search results and blogs on SATISH SETH [14:41] who was an executive in reliance, for some reason reliance had to block him [ Of course for PROFIT REASONS] I read somewhere they had even briefly blocked all blogs of the striking pilots of Air India! I think this was because the govt leaned on them. I wouldn't be surprised if the other ISPs also obliged.

You become guilty by association. Running tor in any enterprise network will set off several security triggers. You will have a lot of explaining to do.

Tor's signature is well known afaik. ISP's don't like having TOR on their networks as they are "used by terrorists". Some actively block it. Whether the leo's can decode the captured traffic is another story 8-) You're better off with ssh to access the internets.
