UK Government Wants Google To Police Copyright

Posted by timothy on from the now-that's-creative-outsourcing dept.

judgecorp writes "the UK's culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt will this week ask Google to stifle sites deemed to be pirates, pushing them down the listing and cutting off their advertising revenues. The UK government has already outlined plans to make ISPs police copyright breaches by users."
