This is what happens with a monopoly.

Someone needs to come out with another decent search engine.
(I miss AltaVista.)

I’d be much happier without any google in my life.

Having your website hacked has nothing to do with “piracy” – we are now talking about intrusion.

If I see a home-made lawn chair from outside your fence and decide to make an identical one using my own tools, that’s one thing.
If I break into your home in order to see how the chair was made, it’s not.

In short, differentiate the two.

Google is being clever here , they are showing that they are taking down anything that is reported and found to be infringing, they are also at the same time letting any future Judge know that they are doing everything in there power and deserve compensation for there efforts.
Also for all of there take-downs pirates have not been effected in any way, It has not stopped any files being shared or downloaded, it has not prevented anyone who wants something from getting it, all it has done is give Google more protection if ever they have to stand before a Judge.

No judge could find Google guilty of supporting or helping pirates, all they are doing is showing links on the internet, The DMCA take-downs should be going to the individual sites not to Google.

I wonder if Google is doing all of this so that they can have a court case where they request immunity from the DMCA or any claims by those who use the DMCA.
