MPAA Threatens To Disconnect Google From Internet

Posted by samzenpus on from the searching-for-glass-tigers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Over the last few months, Google has received more than 100 copyright infringement warnings from MPAA-affiliated movies studios. Most are directed at users of Google's public Wi-Fi service, but others are meant for Google employees. The MPAA is thus warning the search giant that it might get disconnected from the Internet. Although the copyright holders use strong language, these notices are simply warnings, and typically do not lead to legal action."

    Google is strong because their search engine is strong. Take that away and they're not the Google we know today.

    If you take away Google's search engine, not only would Google not be what we know today, but either would Microsoft's Bing (http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-our-search-results-62914).
