Google Is The Piracy Leader, Says Rupert Murdoch

Rupert Murdoch, media tycoon, founder and Chairman and CEO of News Corporation, is not happy with the White House’s response to the pending anti-piracy bills.

Earlier today the Obama administration said that copyright enforcement should not lead to censorship, but Murdoch sees things differently.

“Obama has thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters,” he said on Twitter.

Google is the worst.

According to Murdoch, Google is the “piracy leader,” for allowing people to upload videos to YouTube.

Right….
