The really disturbing aspect of these blocking is the blatant manner in which websites which are known for their self-regulation (mainly for quality control) like Vimeo have been blacked out presumably by twisting the Chennai High court order against 'video sharing websites' by Copyright Labs, which seems to be a dummy company http://goo.gl/a1rjS http://goo.gl/a1rjS . There is an alarming lack of internet literacy among the law makers and keepers who need to be educated on these issues so that such ridiculous incidents don't happen again.

The site is quite ridiculous, so you are probably right about it being some dummy company.

  It is not a dummy company, it should be a company with significant backing, may be it should have been put up in a hurry. I was expecting something of this sort when many politicians and their kin started acting in movies and buying stakes in production companies. From their contacts page I could see that they are based in chennai

    Dummy meaning it is a facade put up by some vested interests. To my mind there is no way a genuine company can get this done without a legal (or should I say, illegal) backdoor.

"We Protect your move from spreading through Torrent" - They haven't even ran a spell checker on their site, can't stop laughing at these people.

  "I worried more about piracy and it almost spoils everyone in the movie industry" ... only a man of such eloquence is capable of such otherwise impossible tasks ...

There is zero need for shortened links on HN. (Also, this one goes to http://www.copyrightlabs.in/index.php/ceos-desk http://www.copyrightlabs.in/index.php/ceos-desk, which is down for maintenance now.)
