Google under more DMCA pressure to remove links
I'm listening to the EFF's Wendy Seltzer at ISPCON this morning. Google is now receiving 10 to 15 "takedown" requests per week related to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Google doesn't host much content, though; these "takedown" requests are to remove indexing links to supposedly copyrighted content. It's an interesting measure of the amount of intrusion the DMCA has had on search engines.
