Google Buckles

Good job on this story. It makes one wonder what is up with some of the Western countries in that they are all of a suddon filtering content from the public.
I think someone is trying to get back to the (let me tell you what you can know) era as I know better.

Copyright law

Considering that all written material is implicitly copyrighted under US law, Google could be forced to block any and all websites when told to. I wonder if this means that someone could include some copyrighted work in their forum signature, tell Google that their work is being infringed and have the entire site blocked.

Huh what

First of all I see no such message on any google search, and second of all from the picture I gather it removed chillingeffects.org, which isn't some pirate site but an organisation seemingly involved with "monitoring the legal climate of the internet"
And who's main page contains the line:
"But we've noticed that not everyone feels the same way. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some individuals and corporations are using intellectual property and other laws to silence other online users. Chilling Effects encourages respect for intellectual property law, while frowning on its misuse to "chill" legitimate activity."
So the plot thickens.
