Hello Friends,

I was just watching some videos online and to my surprise megavideo site does not opened and shown a blank page, so I just refreshed the page but then I got this red bold text on a background of exclamation mark

“this site has been blocked as per instructions from Department of Telecom (DOT)”

And I was like WTF? I have a full year premium account left on that site and megavideo is the no. 1 video site online. Following is the screenshot of the megavideo site taken just few minutes back.

Megavideo blocked in India, but why?

I mean seriously, these kinds of stupid actions make me laugh. What do the government or department of telecom think, their action will achieve. I mean literally

1. Youtube – You can watch almost anything online, how many music videos and albums are available on youtube, are you going to be blocking youtube also!

2. Piracy will not and can not be stopped by these stupid actions, you will stop one site, 100 such sites will start.

3. Just search for a movie name + songs or mp3 and you get any album or mp3 you want online. Go and block all of them.

4. There are literally thousands of watch movies online sites available, bollywood, hollywood, tollywood etc you can not block or stop all of them.

Blocking one site is just plain stupid in my opinion.

Internet is supposed to be FREE, let it be FREE.

I can not see any reason to block Megavideo because many such other sites are still easily accessible,

How to access Megavideo and other file sharing services in India now

The only simple answer would be just use your favorite proxy site to access megavideo and in the mean time I will look for some more elegant solution.

Update- Mr. Sreekanth have suggested a better solution to this problem

http://www.ultrareach.com/

Download the program from the above url, they claim it is the best anti-censorship software available up to date.

To add to my disappointment they have also blocked mediafire.com , one of the best file sharing service ever. These guys have literally gone mad.

What do you think about megavideo and mediafire
being banned in India, do share your views and comments.

Update: OMG, they have literally ruined the internet for us, I checked out the following sites, lets make a list of sites banned by department of Telecom Today.

They have not only ruined this for us viewers, but there are literally thousands of Indians who earns a living and part time income from these websites. These file sharing websites are a good source of income for many people, it is pretty bad move by Indian Government’s Department of Telecom (DOT) and a violation of Free Speech in My opinion, Today is very SAD day for me
