Starting today millions of music lovers across the nation will have to go without there favorite music songs latest tracks as the Calcutta High court has passed an order to all ISP’s and Mobile services services providers for banning songs.pk from being accessed by the subscribers .
This would imply that all mobile and landlines internet users would not be able to visit songs.pk and download the favorite songs.
As per the petition filled by sagarika music pvt ltd before the Calcutta high court ( Case Numbers 187&23 of 2012 Dated 27 Jan) all ISP’s have been directed to block access to the website songs.pk by any of the following methods:
- DNS name blocking
- IP address blocking via routers
-DPI based URL blocking
Our Take: The fact is our Govt is turning paranoid and in spite of being a democratic state Govt is behaving like China. They are pushing Google and Facebook to remove objectionable stuffs. Now who is to define non-appropiate stuffs?
Secondly this order will not affect most of users, as this court order is directed to Dishnet Wireless, Reliance WiMax, Hathway Cable & Datacom Pvt Ltd, Hughes Communications India, Tata Tele (Maharastra), Reliance World, Wipro Ltd, Sify Technologies Ltd, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India, BG Broadband (now You Telecom). So those are using ISPs other than these will have full access to the site. More importantly there are plenty of such sites offering music downloads.

@ GANESH ..checked with Tarun (TT)- your comment did not come to TT systems – he checked the log & while you were posting the comment, your net got disconnected… hence the comment did not reach the server ..
>> I sent a request to publish an article to TT saying that my reliance was illegally blocking file sharing sites. But they didn’t publish it.

@Keshav Jha
@ It is NOT A Pakistani website but hosted out of France.
Secondly its been blocked for COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (illegal hosting / redistribution of MP3 files) and not “security” … get your facts right my friend !!
>> Don’t blame Govt. for everything. Songs.pk is a website from Pakistan & for security reason it is blocked now.

Here is the ORDER of Calcutta High Court:
This is an application by the plaintiffs in aid of a suit complaining
of copyright infringement. The plaintiff no. 1 and the members of the
plaintiff no. 2 are the copyright owners of Hindi film songs. It is argued
that the website mentioned in the prayers are posting and playing the
songs, without any copyright or licence.
This application is made ex parte on the apprehension that if
notice of this application was served on the website they would shift their
service to a different website.
In those circumstances, I pass an order of injunction in terms of
prayer (a) of the Notice of Motion till further orders. I direct the respondent
ISPs to indicate to the plaintiff the address of the website owner/operator
referred to in the prayers.
I also make it clear that the above order of blocking should be
confined to the above website only and should not otherwise interfere with
internet service.
List this application on 6th February 2012 for further consideration.
All parties are to act on a signed photocopy of this order on the
usual undertakings.

JasPuneet Singh February 19, 2012 at 8:58 am
Tata DoCoMo has started charging their users for accessing this website http://songs.pk inspite of having a GPRS Data Pack active!
Pratik February 18, 2012 at 11:20 pm
No use of blocking…..
Because this site is easily access by using proxy sites.
so try new things for totally blocking.
Singh February 18, 2012 at 11:08 pm

Myself February 18, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Democracy does not mean rule of law not prevail. If we have a right to free speech, that doesn’t imply that we can say whatever we want and get away with it, we cannot speak evil of women or reserved class or slander against any particular person for that matter. It is good that rights of people are protected blatant voilation of laws will lead to chaos and that is dangerous to a communist country as well as a democracy. Tomorrow if someone argues that child pornography should be allowed, will you stand for it? No one will and thats how law should prevail.
Jack February 18, 2012 at 12:42 pm
They should block other sites too…
KOU§IK February 18, 2012 at 12:05 pm
It’s not a Pakistani site,it is a BANGLADESHI site. and its still accessible from Airtel MO.

@Keshav Jha
ARE you a foolish man ?It’s not security reason.
It’s a copyright matter.
Read full post before posting your foolish comments.

They even don’t know what is internet..!!!
There is no word ‘block’ in the world of internet.
Keshav Jha February 18, 2012 at 12:07 am
Don’t blame Govt. for everything. Songs.pk is a website from Pakistan & for security reason it is blocked now.
Keshav Jha February 18, 2012 at 12:05 am
Songs.pk was already blocked in my organization. But I don’t like songs.pk because I love mp3hungama which is the dad of songs.pk.
Kapil February 17, 2012 at 11:47 pm
Nice move by the court. It is a pakistani site.
TAXRAMP February 17, 2012 at 11:43 pm
I Think Calcutta High court dont know INDIAN BOYS ARE NO. 1 IN BYPASSING blocked
INTERNET.IN this way more people are learning how to bypass blocked internet.
Iam now using proxy for songs.pk.
Now this is the time for fuc.ing COPYRIGHT MASTERS ,Govt. and those people who are
involved in blocking internet.
Abhijit Thorat February 17, 2012 at 11:03 pm
still accessible from BSNL(Kolhapur) & MTNL(Mumbai)
Dapru Wansuk February 17, 2012 at 7:55 pm
Very good move…..Govt. should also block Facebook, Google, Twitter, Google+, Orkut etc…this should happen systematically under a well defined project led by Indian Govt. —— Operation “Kill Democracy” ——-
jai February 17, 2012 at 6:33 pm
this site not blocked i am using it whole day.
My network provider Airtel.
Abhishek February 17, 2012 at 6:03 pm

Pavan February 17, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Site is open even in Airtel.. Even if it is blocked people will use proxy sites to access it..
Ankit Bhardwaj February 17, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Site is still accessible from BSNL Haryana….!!!!
Rohan Singh February 17, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Our Govt is foooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. Or else doesn’t know the meaning of Democracy.
KLPDHG February 17, 2012 at 5:05 pm
I think directive has been issued to block “www.song.pk” and not “www.songs.pk” though both sites are accessible and are not blocked till this day.
Ganesh February 17, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Well said, India should NOT censor internet like China. If censoring starts, then there will be no end to this crap. In fact whole of USA acted to stop SOPA/PIPA and now whole of Europe (lot of member countries) is demonstrating against ACTA.
Government can’t filter results and should not. Who know what they will filter next? First they will censor sites like these and then say some lame reason and block vocal political sites and who knows they might even block google!
I sent a request to publish an article to TT saying that my reliance was illegally blocking file sharing sites. But they didn’t publish it.
Avishek Ghosh February 17, 2012 at 3:20 pm
Yes,this site is still accessible using bsnl broadband connection…
Prime February 17, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Yes, site is still accessible using bsnl mobile.

dskushwaha February 17, 2012 at 2:00 pm
I am presently using BSNL Broadband ULD 900 plan, but what do you want to say?
Do you mean BSNL is not the “Internet Backbone of India” or BSNL is in the list of ISPs in High Court order.
Please clarify.
chetan February 17, 2012 at 1:36 pm
this site is working fine
Amar February 17, 2012 at 12:22 pm
This site is still open on MTS network.
Bossman February 17, 2012 at 12:06 pm
really? who cares? this is 2012. there are a million ways to pirate songs and a million and one ways to bypass internet filters. trust me I know…I grew up in Saudi Arabia.
VB February 17, 2012 at 11:36 am
GREAT MOVE BY COURT!!!!!! I m very happy that songs.pk will be blocked (i hope it would be implemented ASAP) coz of folowin reasons.
1.Almost 99% ppl visit songs.pk for download. Music is ours, indian, and see who is publishing it and making profit.
2. Music from dat f***ing site has annoying tags everywher. Songs ke naam ke badle mei jyada http://www.songs.pk hai.
I dont think this will effect ppl in any way coz songs are available on many sites, torrents etc.
Boss, there should be a start. Haat pe haat rekhe bethnese to acha hai to start taking action. thousands of crimes happen everyday. doesnt mean police shud stop their duty saying yeh toh roj ka maamla hai…
Pratik February 17, 2012 at 11:10 am
It’s good to here that the high court order as it is in favor of anti-piracy. But should it be focus on pirated cd(s) sell in indian market?
Kanchan February 17, 2012 at 10:50 am
I have kept open songs.pk from bsnl in another tab right now.
Kunal February 17, 2012 at 10:46 am
Hathway mumbai already blocked access to the site while i am able to access it via mtnl triband !!!

sri February 17, 2012 at 9:02 am
The courts reacting very fast for business related cases than the people needs and civil related cases. what they want to achieve by banning these sites? People know the proxy and torrents which the courts cant avoid any way. There will be billions of sites like this in another five years, then what they will do?
Courts should always remember “Action without Vision is useless”
dskushwaha February 17, 2012 at 6:38 am
I welcome the high court order as it is in favor of anti-piracy and bans a Pakistani website (though the server is in France) ruining our music industry. The money earned from this website might be used in anti-India activities.
But surprisingly the ISP list does not include the Internet backbone of India- BSNL.
chaitanya das February 17, 2012 at 1:56 am
SAB WEBSITE CLOSE OR NOT ACCESS HO JAYGA LAGTA HAI. ALREADY MANY BLOGSPOT SITES WHO ARE VERY BIG COLLECTION .. CLOSED.. WATCH
Shaan February 17, 2012 at 1:35 am
Pathetic decree by court will not effect anyone as there are thousands of similiar sites available.
yukthi February 17, 2012 at 12:44 am

Vikas Patidar February 16, 2012 at 11:52 pm

Saurabh Jain February 16, 2012 at 11:52 pm
Common Guys, you all can watch these site by using proxy server. do not worry
Juggad always there in India
Vikas Patidar February 16, 2012 at 11:51 pm
I think this problem is only with reliance subscriber’s.
Kaushik February 16, 2012 at 11:46 pm
Guys, it takes time to implement the court order. ISPs cannot do it until they receive official copy of the order.
Balakrishna Kini February 16, 2012 at 11:45 pm
But songs.pk is still working.
WiMAX February 16, 2012 at 11:45 pm

Only songs.pk banned? Not a big issue for music lovers of India.
