Google Publicizes DMCA Takedowns

Posted by michael on from the sunlight-is-best-medicine dept.

dmarti writes "In an apparent response to criticism of its handling of a threatening letter from a Church of Scientology lawyer, the popular search engine Google has begun to make so-called "takedown" letters public. DMCA-censored pages are now two clicks and a cut-and-paste away from the regular search results."

    That worked. And that's how Scientologists should be dealt with. It's the only "reasoning" they understand.

    The same could be said for gun owners. Or Jehova's witnesses, or telemarketers. Anyway. It's 'bad' to start killing off cults. Freedom of religion and all that. The sensible thing would have been to report it to the police as harassment. You could've probably easily gotten a restraining order. And if they continued, they would've had to pay hefty fines, which would cause a lot more damage than scaring them away. Oh yeah, death threats are illegal. You should be in jail.
