GOOGLE'S online death penalty on German car maker BMW has been lifted, according to the bloke who told us that it had been imposed in the first place.

Matt Cutts, a Google engineer, told the world that BMW, had been removed from the Google search engine for fudging its statistics.

Now in another statement posted on his bog, Cutts said that bmw.com.de had been reinstated.

He said that he webspam team at Google has been in contact with BMW, and Google has reincluded bmw.de in its our index. The car maker had removed JavaScript-redirecting pages which could have fooled the Google spiders.

Another German website, ricoh,de, was also blacklisted at the same time and has also been reinstated, Cutts said. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
