These are the reasons I can think of
-It's a temporary move to please the courts orders
-Maybe MTNL is releasing a movie which it doesn't want to spread on Hard Disks before it hits the theaters
-Orders from International authorities
-Interest Check of MTNL Loyalists, maybe they'll lift the block due to peer pressure and threatening from users to switch to pvt. players (But then, no pvt. provider has real unlimited downloads, except Beam Tele, Tikona, You Scod, BSNL), but who knows if they are blocking the sites too?
-Some smart guy posted a video of some minister watching p0rn in Rajya Sabha on vimeo/torrent sites?

Okay one question.
Important case like murders,bomb blasts etc that have killed thousands of people take years to get sort.While such a move is done in no time.
Why not block %^7 websites??
I highly doubt the present gov**** will ever win in elections again though they might not be connected in this issue.

As of yesterday torrentz was blocked. Changing DNS seemed to fix it. Not so much for vimeo. Internet Nazis. :x

*vimeo.com works on MTNL. Vimeo, Video Sharing For You does not.

https is the way to go.

@ serpent16: Do not post links to pirate sites.

Its 1 question, everyone is trying to find an answer to since 15th August 1947.

I don't think so, they won't survive long with the ban on all sites.

I'd prefer a cheque instead of a gold medal.

What is mainstream media doing to report this? Nothing. What are the people of India doing to get rid of this? Nothing.

Indians are impotent. Deserved block.

Honestly, there exists a life beyond girls and facebook.
Lets not get too much into off-topic now.
