How do search engines meet requirement 2 (knowingly linking to illegal content)?
- cjpdx 10y agodepends on how they defined "knowingly". DMCA clearly defined this, but without some specific legislative definition of what constitutes knowledge it's open to interpretation which is a dangerous ambiguity. Perhaps I could send a message somehow to some Google exed to remove a bunch of links that are to illegal content, wait 2 weeks then claim that was sufficient notice for them to be aware of the content and therefore meet requirement #2. To be fair, I didn't dig to see if this second requirement is clearly defined.
- nhebb 10y agoSearch for just about any desktop software with the words "crack", "serial", "torrent",... and search engines will show results. Most of it will be virus-laden crap, but that's a separate issue. Same goes for all forms of digital media.
