Universal Pictures Wants To Remove Localhost and IMDB Pages From Google Results

Artem Tashkinov writes: We've all known for a very long time that DCMA takedown requests are often dubious and even more often outright wrong but in a new turn of events a Universal Pictures contractor which does web censorship has requested a takedown of an IMDB page and the 127.0.0.1 address. I myself has seen numerous times that pages which barely include the title of an infringing work of art get removed from search engines.

    It's not the "DCMA"; it's the "DMCA", also known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
    There should be a comma before the word "but" in the first (run-on) sentence.
    And it's not "I myself has seen"; it should be "I myself have seen".
    Even blogs need editors.
