They might not consistently communicate with all ISPs it's pretty common that all mobile ISPs will do blocking but no wireline ISPs do it. Most countries that block things ocassionally just aren't very good at blocking things. So why is that the case? Are some ISP not listening to the government?įrom experience being blocked from time to time in many countries. > The weirdest is that some ISP are blocking it and some are not. I speculate that in your case one of these people saw a link or reference to VLC in one of these pirate sites (many pirate sites do openly recommend VLC if someone complains they are unable to play their video file), and figured they'd include your site too (either out of ignorance, or deliberate malice to create hurdles for non-techies to watch the videos). The court then orders it to be blocked after conducting their enquiry (which often doesn't have any representation from the other party as most of these sites are foreign and many obviously will choose not to defend themselves in court unless they are not doing anything illegal). The usual process for this is that the right holder can go to court and provide a list of URL's and ask for it to be blocked. Now that the indian film industry is feeling the pinch of piracy because of the growth of high speed internet in India, and streaming platforms too are being aggressive against pirate sites (who they see as competitors), many torrent websites and pirate streaming platforms are now banned in India. As other's have pointed out, I too believe your site is just collateral damage in the fight against piracy. (Talking to our government will be like talking to a brick wall). Indian here - you will have to go to the indian court to get your site unblocked.
