        Based on the perfect 10's ruling this week, I am wondering if copyright holders don't want to start pressuring google to remove links to torrent sites that spread their content illegally?

          The Perfect 10 ruling was overturned this week, and the courts said it was fair use for google to thumbnail their stuff, so how does that help?

              Because the judge also stated that google may be liable for linking to copyright violators... so notifying google that there is copyright material on these torrents in theory should be enough to get them to start blacklisting them.

                Well this isn't thumbnails but rather theft of product.

                    I have been typing in several sites with torrent after. I know this is not new but lol no wonder my best sponsor over the years doesn't get me many sales anymore.

                      All the more reason for the programs to get on the stick and start DMCA-ing google. I would suspect that programs could get most of the torrent sites dropped out pretty quickly for this sort of thing. Google will not want to end up in court with perfect10 again with a ton of DMCAs not answered for the issue the judge has raised.

                        Why don't the owners of the content sue? The RIAA does it all the time.

                          i wrote a thread about it recently. saw an article about them suing college kids, most of them or their parents setlle out of court for about 2-3k to the tune of hundreds of cases.

                          so the riaa is making over a million a month without even going to court

                            I don't think that most of the programs out there are very good about protecting thier rights to their content. I was more hoping that they would be upset that these torrent sites are likely taking traffic and sales away from them as a result. I figured that might be enough to get some of them to consider doing something about it.

                              although one of the things i hate most about US is the "sue happy" nature of the legal system and people, i think that in this case i could easily get behind a business that just makes a habit of going after people who blatantly infringe on copyrights as a core aspect of their business model.

                              wonder if its feasible? if people can just sign off to a legal team, give them a list of content, names etc and let the legal team hunt people down and settle.. and kick a little back to the copyright owners.

                                I was looking today at some SE results and number of torrents is really huge. eg. http://www.google.com/search?q=my+fr...l&start=0&sa=N
                                around 10 results for torrents out of 20.
                                All big sponsors gets probably lower number of sales from SE for their keyword site names nowadays

                                  I dont understand why any of the program owners have not been commenting in any of the 100's of torrent threads that people are making, Are we all missing something here? I really am starting to wonder why
