File Sharing sites have been blocked in India on the instruction of Dot (Department of Telecom). On Airtel connection you get this message when you try to access a domain that has been blocked. If you reload the page, it lets you access the same. Seems like Airtel if giving a warning to its customers before completely blocking the websites. Other ISP providers like Aircel have also started blocking access to Mediafire, rapidshare and other file hosting websites
The following file sharing websites are currently showing this message.

The Department of Telecom should understand that blocking access to file sharing or file hosting sites don’t stop piracy. There are thousands of torrent sites and file sharing sites, the more they block the more new sites will popup. This reminds us of the time the DoT blocked an adult indian cartoon site called “Savitha Babhi”. It made the headlines in news channels for a few days, in the end the author just started the site with a new domain and even more readers that he had in the beginning. There are rumors floating around that porn sites will also be blocked soon
