Google Prepares Piracy Crackdown

Okay so:

#1)This will not stop anybody from visiting any of those sites at all.
#2)This will make it harder for people who want to shut down those sites, find them.
#3)You can never stop people from pirating unless you get rid of the internet. Even then, some guy is going to go to Blockbuster, rent a DVD, and copy it 300,000 times.
#4)Anti-Piracy always hurts the honest a lot more than it hurts the pirates themselves.

Insert CD?!

The problem people fail to understand is that this is another case of a company or government placing large and rich multinational companies before their actual consumers.

Yeah. If I was giving them any money, I'd be right pissed off. I've never given a cent to Google, nor will I. I'll switch search engines in a heartbeat, too, if Google stops serving my purposes. Google needs to realise that there's no loyalty on the net.

First, I have to say Faladorian that was hilarious. IMO, this whole thing with Google seems much more like a publicity stunt, it makes Google look good, a growing super-power working to help stop evil. It puts the company name in the papers, on the TV and of course something to talk about. Regarding whether it's effective in making an impact on piracy that's all secondary.

Yeah I know but a surprising amount of people rent from RedBox, which dispenses DVDs and sometimes Blu-Ray. Although, I honestly don't see why that's preferable to just renting it off of your TV lol
