You may face 3 years jail term for viewing Torrent websites in India
After a brief and fumbling ban on porn, the Indian government seems to be trying ban torrents — the very idea of torrents.
If you visit a torrent website, a report suggests, you might be committing a crime, one that earns a 3 lakh fine and 3 years in jail. (And you know they don’t have Wi-Fi in jail).The extent of this ban extends to looking at “a torrent file, or downloading a file from a host that may have been banned in India, or even for viewing an image on a file host like Imagebam.”
On a URL which showcases such banned content, a warning will pop up on your screen:
Any person aggrieved by any such blocking of this URL may contact at urlblock@tatacommunications.com who will, within 48 hours, provide you the details of relevant proceedings under which you can approach the relevant High Court or Authority for redressal of your grievance”
