Also, it is illegal to lie on-line. Watching porn can put you in for 5 years, along with 10 Lakh rupees fine.

Bombay high Court said privately it is totally legal.
Public viewing is not.

This is a 2010 verdict after a raid on a Rave party btw.

Ill post the link but not today.

And The Manager gave me a bunch of CDs from his Almirah, they even did not know which CD was OFFICE CD and which was Windows XP CD !! (To tell you the truth, I even snipped the Original Windows XP PRO CD, but in vain it never got activated on my computer!! I still have the CD ) :)


That's why. I guess in recent times we so much recruitment in nationalized banks, you might not find such scenarios so easily.

Ok I have dig up some information on this issue:

I think the below clause of the IT Act says everything:
Chapter XI
"67. Publishing of information which is obscene in electronic form. - Whoever publishes or transmits or causes to be published in the electronic form, any material which is lascivious or appeal to the prurient interest or if its effect is such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely, having regard to all relevant circumstances, to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodied in it, shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years and with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees and in the event of a second or subsequent conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years and also with fine which may extend to two lakh rupees."

Another horrible story of our Indian Govt.: dumb's
Registering the domain name takes $5-7 a year. That's it! The entire world outsources software development to India for low cost. If despite of that a Government of India's Public Sector Union's website domain expires - which of course the entire world would, ostensibly, be using to get to them - and a porn site comes up... then the safest assumption you can make is that the PSU is run by absolute MORONS and IDIOTS. Well, the assumption is a very correct one! The official site of Central Inland Waterways Transport Corporation Ltd (CIWTC) — a Kolkata-based PSU under the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport & Highways - has been hosting a Russian porn site for last one month now!

And what does the Chairman and Managing Director of the PSU say?

“The website (ciwtc.com :: this domain is for sale) was not really hacked but taken over by a Russian company as our domain name had expired. We learnt of some pornographic links displayed on the website and told National Informatics Centre, which blocked the links. So no damage has been done,”
Mark the last words - "no damage has been done"! - this Article is here

Did you mean unable to open the website by blocking?

BTW I was able to open all of these listed websites, & on 3 of them i could upload and download files as usual. :)

I think, DOT blocking may be affected only for some network operators and only to a limited region as of now. Can´t say what will be the DOTs next action though.
 
Everything is working fine for me. Sorry for bumping the old thread but I have to say, my friend with Airtel ISP started facing this issue 2-3 days ago.

I can access most of the sites freely from my MTS internet, possibly a plan implemented by the ISP's
