India bans filesharing websites

India bans filesharing websites

Well it was only just yesterday that we reported about how a 15 year old kid in Sweden got into legal trouble for downloading movies. He's not the first and he will probably not be the last, but there seems to be an increasing rate of filesharing websites being banned in certain countries (such as Malaysia who has blocked the Pirate Bay website) due to the abuse by users who upload copyrighted files onto them. As it turns out, India has also recently started banning filesharing websites, and it seems that the Indian populace is none too happy about it.

Ubergizmo, India bans filesharing websites
