British music biz group targets Google results
Found on CNet News on Sunday, 20 June 2010
"We have identified the following links that are available via Google's search engine," the BPI wrote to Google in a June 11 letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. "[BPI leaders] request the following links be removed as soon as possible, as they directly link to sound recordings owned by our members."
There appears to be few, if any, recent requests made by a large copyright owner for Google to remove links to accused pirate sites.
It would be interesting to see BPI vs Google going to court. That would be a little different than the usual Big Corp vs poor John and Jane Doe who cannot affort to risk a lawsuit, even if there is a high chance of winning. Google can easily pump millions of dollars and hundreds of lawyers into a legal battle.
