    Re: News - Google?s concession to Murdoch unlikely to be enough

    If Murdoch doesn't want his sites shown on Google, there's a very simple method called putting a robots.txt file in your root directory and disallowing whichever areas of your site you want. Google's webcrawlers will respect the robots.txt disallows and leave Murdoch's sites alone.

    However, since he's too stupid to do that, why doesn't google just help murdoch out by blocking all Newscorp sites from being indexed at all? They could even go a step further and ban all Newscorp IPs from accessing any of google's services.

    Actually, he's not too stupid to do that, that's the whole point of the article. News corp has been talking about delisting from google. Which is more or less exactly what you are suggesting in the first part.

    I know he wants to de-list his sites...

    The point was he's too slow so he needs a bit of help, such as google banning him.
