Huge news for Internet users in India, the Pirate Bay and Vimeo have become inaccessible in the country. It's hard to say whether this was done under the direction of the Indian government, or the ISPs acted alone. The reason may be obvious here, that the Indian regime is seeking to block out sites that infringe the intellectual properties of others, such as the entertainment industry. This may have come after a British court told its ISPs to block out the Pirate Bay, and possibly others similar to it.
It appears the Internet copyright/piracy fight is already underway for the Indian people - Are they're prepared?
