this or not, but recently Google has started FILTERING requests for information
that may violate the DMCA. This just started recently, but test it
yourself. Go to Google.com and try searching for "kazaa lite
k++", which is the enhanced version of the popular P2P client. If
you notice, the website will not show up in the lists. In fact, it seems
that the site that offered this client is now no longer online. What's
REALLY SAD is that Google admits to the filtering at the bottom of the page and
gives an explanation, along with some documentation. Here's what it says:</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

It seems that Sharman Networks weren't happy enough with the profits they made
on advertising - a business that is run solely on the attraction that
customers can download digital content, which they may or may not own
legally. Now, why would they want to block this program so badly?
My guess...K++'s anonymous enhancements make it much too difficult to track
down piracy and since users would benefit from this, it is a danger to
their business. Also, they are probably making even more money on the
side by selling information about who is massively sharing MP3/VIDEO to the
RIAA and MPAA. BUT IRONICALLY THEY ARE USING THE F**KING DMCA TO HAVE
GOOGLE FILTER SEARCHES!!! If anything, the DMCA should be used against
THEM for making it easy for people to download illegal content. "Hey
you don't have the right to steal what I am currently stealing!!!"
Reminds me of Microsoft stealing from Apple. This is the most improper
use of the DMCA I have ever seen. What do you guys all think of this?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
