Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-scary dept.

dioscaido writes "If you search Google for Kazaa Lite, you'll find the results a bit lacking. Ironically enough, Sharman Networks, using the DMCA, filed a legal complaint to block Kazaa Lite sites. " Google links the DMCA request at the end of the results which contain the URLs in question, but the URLs aren't really the point. It's scary that the DMCA makes URLs a copyright violation. How long before libraries can't index books? Or own them?

    Ok, countdown time. How long will it take for someone from the UK to rip on Americans for their incorrect use of irony.

    Gamespot is right. You shouldn't have ripped off their videos. You had no right whatsoever to use them.

    Whould you like it is someone took your hard work and used it without you're permission? The people at Gamespot don't. They have to make a living. If you don't like it, tough. Its THIER video, not yours.

    Its not GS who is the asshole in this case, it's you.
