Internet Copyright war in India? Pirate Bay and Vimeo censored

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?

Alex Jones's YouTube channel under copyright attack by Bent Pixels

Alex Jones of Infowars.com is in a bind, that his YouTube channel is being targeted by copyright claims coming from Bent Pixels over the voice of Joe Rogan, who he interviewed on the Alex Jones show. Can Alex Jones resolve this copyright dispute before his channel is gone?

Is it possible that a person's voice and/or appearance be copyrighted? Perhaps the YouTube Content ID system tends to be very sensitive and sometimes inaccurate.

Iranian Regime’s National Internet plans continue forward

Last March, it’s been said that the Iranian regime was testing out the National Internet system (or Intranet), before or during elections. The kind of Internet the regime will likely use to set up their servers and their own email and web search system. If this happens, the Iranians could be cut off from the rest of the rest of the world, and forced on the regime’s gatekeeper Internet. The Iranian regime would have to go through with it because it claims their own enemies are out there in cyberspace, national security and reputation concerns, un-lslamic/Western content, and more. Possibly in August, the Iranian people’s hope of getting online on the current Internet may be at an end. The government recently set up a council-level position just to oversee the Internet in their country. Denial or not, the current Internet as is, may make or break the Iranian regime, if they refuse to continue censoring content they dislike.
