People in the Supreme court couldn't care less about these kinds of protests. It does not impact anyone, though it wastes tax payers money.

Second, piracy in India is a real issue. Its almost at the level in the US during 1999. Revenues for good movies are not impacted by this obviously but the bad ones (which is 99% of the movies made) are impacted.

Are you saying that without piracy, people would be more easily tricked into buying tickets to bad movies? And how is that a good thing?

Piracy is an issue, yes. So is homelessness. If banning is a real solution then maybe not allowing anyone to own is house is as well, no?

2/3 of the sites were up when I checked them. Although, it looks these sites haven't been updated since 2003

Those sites are showpieces. No one ever checks or updates them. I don't think most people in the govt would even know of the existence of those sites.
