New Delhi: A number of Internet service providers had blocked access to popular video sharing websites such as Vimeo and DailyMotion as well as major torrent search services including The Piratebay and isoHunt apparantly following a court order obtained by Copyright Labs, a Chennai-based online anti piracy service provider.

According to Copyright Labs, ISPs were asked to block specific websites but in a repeat of earlier instances they ended up blocking entire domains.


In retaliation Anonymous's opIndia hackers targeted the websites of the Congress Party (aicc.org.in), Supreme Court (supremecourtofindia.nic.in) as well as that of Copyright Labs (copyrightlabs.in).
One can access all of these sites by typing https:// before the url.
