What? Weird tech ping.
I’m torn on this one. I think the MPAA is a bunch of goons, but at the same time it’s nice to see Google getting slapped with these.
Best case scenario would be that Google and the MPAA beat each other into oblivion with lawsuits to the point that they can’t bother anyone else any longer.
Google is far, far sleazier than Microsoft...but at least they do have engineers capable of giving us things that work...mostly.
The recording industry mafia strikes again...
Oh my!! Google might get its comcast account suspended? That was the answer all along! Google would be helpless without an ISP to access the internet! Snicker,,,

I am *so* gonna squat on that domain name if it becomes available!
You go, girls.
Even with the leftist bent of Google execs I would side with them on this one. MPAA is threatening thousands of jobs at Google and I will guarantee you the large majority of their employees are not leftists like they are. Google as well as Dogpile and Bing are extremely useful tools and they all employ a lot of people who again should not be assumed to be all liberal. I side with maintaining as many jobs as possible rather than destroying more jobs and more of the economy. Besides, if they succeed with Google MPAA will next turn it’s socialist sights on Microsoft and Dogpile and whomever else they think they can get money out of.

It’s like watching the movie, “Unforgiven.” There are NO good guys in this one.
The RIAA and MPAA are now causing lapses in National Security policies due to their buying of US Commerce Dept officials and using them and their private paid lobbyists to buy off legislators in Europe.
When the info was leaked to the various independent media outlets in Europe, several politicians and bureaucrats were forced to publicly recant, and the copyright trade agreements were nixed for the time being.
We now have a situation where US corporations that produce copyrighted works of a serious nature are being underminde d by the shysters from MPAA and RIAA making it impossible for software companies to defend their copyright claims in Europe.
The DoJ and Customs seizure of the Spanish sports media website domain might be the last straw, American corporations will be met with a wall of hostility in the coming years in Europe.
Iceland, Ireland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania... have all told US trade reps to f*** off in the last few months.
