Sweet justice. Tax dollars hard at work.

"Finally, Moe asks: if a site links and embeds to all the same content, but does not profit from it (i.e., does not have advertising), is it criminal? Hayes totally punts and says he'd have to check the law. Yes, really. So the guy is not an expert on the technology and admits he's not an expert on the law in question. So what is he an expert in and why is he leading these questionable seizures? "

google profits directly from torrents

try a search for "gfrevenge"

ads on top , many torrents in top 10

infact it is almost blackmail, if gfrevenge or an affiliate doesn't buy the adspot , the majority of the top sites would be torrent sites.

Bastards, you guys should all add noindex, nofollow to your metas. That will teach google not to mess with you

so google can do it, other cant, interesting

More or less, yes.

For what I've read and based on former legal cases affecting Google, it's my understanding that the difference is Google links to EVERYBODY by automatically crawling sites, which makes impossible not to link to questionable/illegal sites, while the sites seized ONLY LINK TO ILLEGAL SITES and there's a human effort to do that. In other words: Google may fail at filtering the illegal sites between billions of sites while the other domains have an illegal purpose by definition

LOL What? I wish they would have gone after you for selling stolen pictures.

LOL A thieving pirate turning around and calling sweet justice when other pirates get caught.

Damn yous a dumb little bitch Barefootsies.

Done! And I pulled all links to all sponsors. That will show those pirates! :1orglaugh

Does this have to do with that retard "Alex" from Seizethedomain.com?

Oh, of course not, no one actually pays attention to that retarded faggot.

An interesting point of view, could even hold up in court

Big surprise huge corporations can do what ever they fucking want but if you try it plan on going to jail, this is nothing new.

I didn't think it by myself, Google and Yahoo uses this argument every single time they're taken to court. Sometimes they lose, but most of the times they have won
