[...] Now, “For reasons unknown,” Google is blocking the use of its search technology on the site, says TorrentFreak. [...]

It’s the beginning of the end.
Google will first start censoring out individual requests, then more and more sites, clients, maybe even IP domains and complete filetypes or start a blackword/blacklist far beyond it’s current malware-warning-only scope.

The nazinet is coming, and it’s coming very, very fast.

Gee thanks big money/corporations/content raepw0nzers.

And after the censoring, we’ll go the next step, which is already in place in germany, and prosecute without assumption of prior innocence in realtime on simply TRYING TO ACCESS CONTENT that MIGHT be forbidden, as per the definition of those who choose what they want to be forbidden.

Oh Orwell, you were only off by 20ish years.

Google is working with MPAA/RIAA to make torrent files look bad right now. Google needs help with its deal on orphan copyrighted books. MPAA/RIAA doesn’t want to take Google to court because they might lose. The judge was wrong to say torrent files are illegal and he may have broken the law in doing so. TPB should have atleast tried to work with the takedown notices, to be sure it was covered by the safe harbor, the judge may have been right about that, its grey law at best so the higher courts will decide. Piracy is wrong but some of these new laws are almost as bad. Super long term copyrights/patents are bad for the world, just look back at want Edison tried to do 100 years ago.

@58:
“Guns ie. can be used to protect og to scare/kill it is up to the person using it. … Try making a law against driving, and then see if anyone actually follows it :)”

Just for the sake of argument, but: 2.Speeding is still quite common (a law against ‘driving too fast’), and,
1.Protect(with gun) = scare/kill(with gun)

They have ‘no clue” ? Err, duh, maybe it’s because Google don’t want to be promoting piracy? Duh! Wake up!

It’s because google wants nothing to do with it. Look what happend to TPB, they were pretty much like Google only for torrents, but Google do include torrents and they got even more indexed than TPB. They just want to stay under the radar so they dont get sued or anything.

I think the only reason (if) google is censoring, is that they dont want another one in the pile of lawsuits, this is simply buisness, and this is much cheaper than going to trial.

The only problem we have, as other techically knowing people already know, is that there is a huge difference between technology and breaking laws. That is, technology is just that, what people do with is isnt the creators fault. Guns ie. can be used to protect og to scare/kill it is up to the person using it.

Heres a fun thought, when have law ever beaten technologies development. Try making a law against driving, and then see if anyone actually follows it :)

Point being, that people like they decide what they use technology for, decide what laws they follow and those they dont. Usually people dont follow stupid laws.

When a law gets in the way. Use technology to bypass it :)
