I somehow feel its the right step HC has taken. But it shouldn't be "chinese" way. I mean the reason should be practical, not baseless as done by chinese.

^^ Joined. It would be nice if you can write some intro in the event too about this problem. So that people not aware of the HC's decision can be made aware of it. You can quote the news article shared in your first post.

Edit: The news article in your first post don't work!

Since when satarical cartoon sites are banned? Does this mean those puppet parody shows on news channels with end?

Its like SOPA, difference they have a bill and we have enough loopholes and redtape can sort of gives the power for the legal system to make companies do the bidding of the entertainment industry. Mainstream media will be the first who want to censor the internet because people are always in need of the truth and you can't gag anyone on the internet until now. The internet is the only power for people who be honest and for Independent media to do what they do best.

I haven't really shared this with everybody but some of us are planning to do something about it:
Effin Speech
Twitter hashtag #internetcensorshipindia
Its going to take some time to push it up bigtime though its a start. We're just getting a team ready and the guy whose website that was hosted on Bigrock and was taken down without any paperwork "Aseem Trivedi" is also in it. He had a word with IAC but they have their hands full. There's also facebook/Google page but TBH for such stuff, twitter is usually most effective.

If anyone wants to be a part of it, let me know. As of now we're getting someone who can take care of law side of things.

We have come one step closer to becoming the next China. A couple of weeks back Google's Blogger blogs started to redirect to a .in domain when accessed from within India. The official explanation was that it was done so that laws within the countries were followed a.k.a. making removals easy . Here is the link to the official explanation Why does my blog redirect to a country-specific URL? - Blogger Help
