This is more of an expose on the corrupt practices of Reliance. Reliance companies (of both Mukesh & Anil) are known for corrupt practices. This isn't really a surprise but credit to Anonymous for confirming and informing customers.

  it looks like the Indian government is targeting file-sharing and Tamil nationalism?

I don't know about this... Anonymous blocked access to twitter and facebook, surely that is censorship in itself?

  Are you actually serious? Not to insult you or anything, but how is a protest supposed to be effective if its not noticed? France does major demonstrations all the time, blocking access to streets and buildings... in USA, the police would shoot them and treat them as criminals. Just trying to make the point that people SHOULD create trouble when they are not happy. France is way more free than America so thats why I brought it up.

    If you have to block the street for me to notice your course, you suck at communication or your course must be completely retarded. Either way it is a good filter for me to not give a shit and/or support the other party.

      Sometimes demonstrations inconvenience others. Such is the price of free speech.

      When your government is taping mouths, blocking the street kind of seems like fair play. It's shitty communication all around, but how else are people supposed to react?

    Do you actually live in the USA? I do, and it's not that bad. It takes quite a bit to get shot by police if you're not armed. I can't remember when they used actual bullets on a crowd.

  Blocking a resource for a short period of time is not censorship. Blocking the entrance to a library for a day is a protest not censorship.

Is there somewhere they could submit their stuff for technical writing checks before posting it?
