It's not isp's responsibility to ensure bollywood piracy... they don't own servers... they only provide services.
It's the responsibility of file sharing sites owner to ensure pirated contents are not shared on their servers... ISP's can do nothing about it.
^There was a court order taken out this time holding the ISPs responsible for the piracy of the movie on their networks, which is why some ISPs banned some file sharing sites, and put up the message that it was because of the DOT, but even ignoring this whole event,
Information Technology Act | Government of India, Department of Information Technology (DIT)
That is the official Information Technology Act of india. Check out the 2008 amendment. it is full of gems. It holds not just the ISPs responsible, but also the user for downloading illegal files, and the web site at the same time, and a bunch of other intermediary entities as well. The approach seems to be hold everyone responsible for every kind of wrongdoings on paper.
The Gist is that if ISPs are not coming down on illegal content on their networks (porn, piracy, cyber terrorism etc), then they are equally at fault for facilitating it. There was speculation at that time that these measures were too insane to be actually implemented, but it seems like it is beginning to happen now. The onus is on the ISPs to act as some kind of monitors in the classroom, making sure none of their customers are indulging in anything illegal. The fallout /implication is that if it surfaces that twitter is being used as a tool for cyber terrorism, then the ISPs have to block it.
Also, it is illegal to lie on-line. Watching porn can put you in for 5 years, along with 10 Lakh rupees fine.

Right off the assembly line
This is real crazy, by blocking 10 or 15 sites, its impossible to stop piracy. Mostly downloaders are techies, every one knows that how to use a web based proxy, if the site is blocked in current ip, people can access using proxies, for example Hide My Ass! Free Proxy and Privacy Tools - Surf The Web Anonymously is such a service, This being used by so many corporate employees for accessing facebook, etc.

Legit?
Yes !!
It was a HCL Computer!
The man handling the computer was so afraid, only because EXCEL was not working properly and he was supposed to email the transaction details to there HQ.
The HCL support guy was away ( he was some 500 kms away ). Bank Manager was my father's friend, and so, the manager told about the incident to my father and my father offered to help the manager by asking me to do the troubleshooting.
I installed it using the Original cd and also made a copy for myself!! (They never understood what I actually burned to CD )
Now what's that Anil? Something from the movie promo???
When this incident happened?
