Well in the recent case, there was an court order obtained by
copyrightlabs and it has been implemented by all ISPs including BSNL
and MTNL. In fact ISPs like Reliance and Airtel have removed the bans
but MTNL atleast still continues.

And these stupid ISPs pretty much blocked whole of legal sites like
pastebin, again it still continues on my MTNL connection.
I guess, these ISPs have just gone wild and blocked a lot of things even
the ones not in the court order. Apparently, as per the hindu article,
this is a mistake and was not intended.

"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.
