Sidhoni Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from the government on a plea to block and ban porn sites on the internet, particularly those showing child pornography, as these are a major cause of crime against women. A bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir issued notices to ministries of Information and Technology, Information and Broadcasting and Home Affairs and Internet Service Providers Association of India on a petition seeking to bring an anti pornography law. The petition filed by Indore-based advocate Kamlesh Vaswani said watching obscene videos is not an offence but it is one of the major causes for crime against women. At the beginning, the bench was reluctant to entertain the petition on the ground that the issue could be dealt under the information technology law. The bench, which was of the view that the problem was difficult to be curbed, was told by senior advocate MN Krishnamani, appearing for the petitioner, that filing complaint under the cyberlaw was not the solution as certain provisions in it are ultra vires of the Constitution. The petition filed through advocate Vijay Panjwani said absence of internet laws encourage people to watch porn videos and as it is not an offence, over 20 crore porn videos or clippings are freely available in the market, which are directly been downloaded through internet or other video CDs. "The sexual content that kids are accessing today is far more graphic, violent, brutal, deviant and destructive and has put entire society in danger so also safety threats to public order in India. "The petitioner most respectfully submits that most of the offences committed against women/girls/children are fuelled by pornography. The worrying issue is the severity and gravity of the images is increasing. It is a matter of serious concern that prepubescent children are being raped," it said. Stay safe Kamlesh Vaswani :giggle:
Crookbond Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Next step should be a morphed (or not?) MMS with Kamlesh Vaswani in it.
DomainK Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 That's a good way to get every single young man of India above 18 to actually get out of the comfort of their bedrooms equipped with the latest computers, consoles and smart phones, and vote. Take away their right to watch porn and they will give you the youth revolution of the century.
SLICKR392 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Oh BS! Banning it would only raise the crime rate. Time to stock some pornos for the next 10 years. :gamer1: You can't watch a movie in India -they cut even the slightest violent or intimate scenes, not even a peck on the cheek is spared and now this :facepalm:
Sachin=GOD Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 they are talking of banning porn sites.................I guess they haven't heard of torrent.
DomainK Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 they are talking of banning porn sites.................I guess they haven't heard of torrent. :secret:
DomainK Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I dont think porn was legal in India anyway Watching porn and possession of porn are legal. However production and distribution are illegal. So, yes, porn websites were already illegal.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Watching porn and possession of porn are legal. However production and distribution are illegal. So' date= yes, porn websites were already illegal. but if a person was watching porn on such a website and he was not distributing it to anyone then he wasn't doing anything illegal :hmmm:
Desi Cartman Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Watching porn and possession of porn are legal. However production and distribution are illegal. So' date=' yes, porn websites were already illegal.[/quote'] So only import is allowed, no domestic production :orderorder:

Crookbond Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 IMO, Ambanis have always implicitly promoted porn. This is clearly manifested in the Reliance Mobile adverts released in the early 2000s - Dhirubhai ka sapna, sabke haath mein ho apna. Clearly, that was Dhirubhai's vision.
