Google Removes Kazaa Links, Keeps Sponsored Links
SanityInAnarchy writes "Everyone should remember when Google removed several links that Sharman (owner of Kazaa) claimed were infringing their copyrights. At first, only real results were touched and sponsored links left alone. Well, that sponsored link was removed, but there are quite a few left on a search for 'Kazaa Lite' that, if they aren't infringing Kazaa copyrights, openly advocate piracy. Well, maybe not quite, but I still can't believe they expect that phrases like 'complete albums,' 'full-length movies,' and 'Napster lives' are to be interpreted as '100% legal.'"
in other news, KaZaA users are searching for KaZaA Lite using KaZaA itself, installing it, and getting rid of KaZaA for good!
The IT section color scheme sucks.
I doubt it. I think he meant Usenet.
Oh, and ethics. Don't forget ethics.
Anything you might ever need to say about anything has already been said better by Penny Arcade.
And probably everyone on Slashdot knows what the obvious, technically-properly-done successor is, so I won't even mention it.
Actually paying for stuff?
"Sufferin' succotash."
" Google links to the links as well. The notice at the bottom of the results page points to a page listing the blocked sites."

Hosted by the "Chilling Effects" clearinghouse. When I asked Wendy Selter if they could turn the text into links her answer was that even though they thought the DMCA was unconstitional this was the best they felt they could do. I guess they aren't ready to be the object of a court case over this.
So... You'll have to cut/paste the links.

Big Brother Bush is doubleplus ungood.
I just find it pretty ironic that kazaa are complaining about copyright infringement.
Might I refer you to the "My Dick is the Biggest Dick of them All so STFU!" syndrome?
Often, when people get stupid trying to one-up each other on slashdot I have to whip out my foot-long and beat them about the head and shoulders with it.
If, after that, they still don't have the good sense to STFU, then I just give them a Rodney-Blast(tm) and they are too busy cleaning up to waste anyone's time any further.
All those sites have been censored by google....
but type in 'goatse' into google, and the first hit is a page that shows the evilnasty picture. Here is the return from the google search. Dont click on the top link unless you are a sick pervert.
Kazaalite needs to be censored when THIS FILTH is on the net?!?!??! (not a direct link, only a google search)
get some perspective, people!
