Its getting ridiculous by the day, the way laws are being set here in India. Recently the Supreme Court of India, has ordered that all cars must get rid of their sun films. Even tinted glasses of any tint percentage aren't allowed. This is because they think the kidnapping, terrorism and crimes against women will stop if the cars get rid of sun films and tint on windows. People are predicting heavy bribe business in…

This should shift the s/w outsourcing edge away from India.

I think the rest of the world should consider this good news and encourage them to find more creative ways to 'protect' against imaginary criminal activity.

Here's the court order for the inclined - http://www.scribd.com/doc/93879417/John-Doe-order-to-block-s...

IANAL, but as far as the court order goes there are no specific sites mentioned to be blocked. This implies, service providers like Airtel have perceived the aforementioned sites to be liable for copyright infringement. It is curious as to how they decided Pastebin and not Youtube could be used for "copyright infringement".

I wonder what Vimeo and Pastebin did to end up on this list. These two are definitely odd (and harmless) apples in that bunch.

same about xmarks, it's bookmarking service for god's sake...
