    Re: News - Google must remove piracy keywords from autocomplete

    hahaha, against some of the most gifted internet users they block an autocorrect on one search engine!

    Not even worth the text it is typed out with!

    Re: News - Google must remove piracy keywords from autocomplete

    OK, so using their own example, Bing returns first related search as "Rolling Stones 40 Licks Torrent", Yahoo and Lycos start displaying results from TPB on the second page of results... the list could go on with examples for pretty much any search engine out there. And all this is OK with this court and only Google is supposed to adhere to another one of these "highly researched" court decisions? Not wanting to overly support Google (how uncool would that be? LOL!), but did these judges ever remove their heads out their behinds or is a colorectal surgery in order? Who knows, they might even like it?

    Re: News - Google must remove piracy keywords from autocomplete

    I kinda agree with them TBH. In the past I have searched for *insert band here latest album cd* and the first two pages of google where illegal filesharing and torrent links before finally having play.com and amazon.co.uk. I feel all search engines are as good as each other at finding both legal and illegal content. A blanket ban on searching torrents is stupid since you can get legal torrents for example linux distros.

    Re: News - Google must remove piracy keywords from autocomplete

    Right... I only use torrents for linux distros so I guess it doesn't really effect me but does seem completely pointless as everyone knows the terms or has just read them from seeing this news story.

    It's not about stopping it. It's about not promoting it, which I guess they shouldn't really be doing. It's only for suggestions anyway.

    Re: News - Google must remove piracy keywords from autocomplete

    This is only for the autocomplete, so just means you have to manually type in "x" torrent if you want it?

    Either way, as others have said, won't have any effect.
