MUMBAI: Browsing the net to watch or download pirated copies of films may lead you to blocked websites, and a stern warning from your local internet service provider. The warning is essentially to enable any link or URL wrongly blocked to initiate steps to have it unblocked. But Indian netizens worry that merely visiting a blocked site could land them in jail.Allaying such fears, senior counsel Venkatesh Dhond said, "A user who merely reaches a site that has been blocked...is not liable to any penalty. But if he persists with his attempt and accesses the pirated print, then he could be liable to punishment under the law. The producers then had sought 800 websites and links to be blocked, but the HC wanted specifics.
