The country’s Madras High Court has changed its earlier censorship order which centred on the issue of internet copyright.
The original ruling made Indian internet service providers (ISPs) block access to entire sites to prevent a single film from being shared online.
The new order was issued following an appeal filed by a consortium of ISPs.
It states that only specific web addresses – URLs – carrying the pirated content should be blocked, but not the entire website.
“The order of interim injunction dated 25/04/2012 is hereby clarified that the interim injunction is granted only in respect of a particular URL where the infringing movie is kept and not in respect of the entire website,” reads the updated decision.
“Further, the applicant is directed to inform about the particulars of URL where the interim movie is kept within 48 hours.”
