But why should Google or any other webpage have to remove links to torrent files? That's like removing from a webpage the GPS coordinates of a knife.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 8:23 PM, Glenn Kerbein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:glenn.kerbein@pirate-party.us">glenn.kerbein@pirate-party.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Furthermore, your argument about indexers is poor at best. Google has<br>
agents to handle takedown requests for YouTube, images, and the sites it<br>
indexes. See Viacom v. Youtube. The Pirate Bay /prides itself/ on not<br>
employing any takedown agents (thus not having the safe harbor clause).<br>
I suggest that you peruse Professor James Boyle's The Public Domain<br>
(particularly the chapter entitled "The Internet Threat"): he waxes<br>
eloquently about the subject of Napster and Grokster.<br>
