Indian Court Orders SOPA-style Blackout of 100+ Music Sites

I find the title a bit confusing. If my understanding is correct, one of the really bad bits of SOPA is that action can be taken without court orders. If there is a court order, then it is not SOPA-style.

The title contradicts itself, keeping the courts involved was a goal of the anti-SOPA movement.

> Deep Packet Inspection.

I have a problem with this whether a court was involved or not.

That was just one aspect of SOPA. The most important SOPA aspect was the DNS-based blocking.

But a court can order DNS changes too (and they have, on many occasions and for many purposes, all over the world). The worry about SOPA was that it introduced that as an unsupervised bureaucratic mechanism available to law enforcement. This isn't the same thing.

You are mistaken. SOPA required a court order.
