Yes, it does, and the link has been removed. At the bottom of the Google Scholar page linked in the article[0], you find the following notice: > In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org. It leads to [1], which has been filed by Bertrand Meyer, and corresponds to the "kms" file he referenced in his post. That being said, there are five other links to his book in pdf form in the results.

Helpfully enough, the entry on chillingeffects.org now directly links to the pdf as well.

  ... as do most DMCA notifications archived there. It makes Google a good search engine for copyright infringing material. Just check the DMCA section at the bottom of the page.

    Why isn't chillingeffects.org hit with DCMA takedown notices?

      They don't link to anything, they just list URLs. Their FAQ regarding the legality of hyperlinks (US jurisprudence) can be found here: http://www.chillingeffects.org/linking/faq.cgi#QID152 http://www.chillingeffects.org/linking/faq.cgi#QID152

That last point deserves underlining, so I'm just going to post a separate comment about it. Even though this particular link has been removed from this particular page, the first result on Google Scholar is still "Object Oriented Software Construction" and if you click on Google's helpful "all 95 versions" link, you will still find PDF versions of the document. I skipped the first one (which was an FTP url) but ran an HTTP HEAD request against the second PDF listed there (from stttelkom.ac.id) to determine that it was 16.6 MB long, presumably that is also the whole work. The same file was also available a few links below that from uettaxila.edu.pk and then on the next page from fs1.bib.tiera.ru . (There are other things labeled as PDFs with wildly-too-small file sizes to be a 1000-page book; I'm not sure what they are.) So saying that 'Yes' Google really cares seems too simple. They've never cared enough to, for example, store a database of hashes of forbidden files. Their efforts on YouTube are significantly more extensive, where any audio or video which remotely resembles some registered property can be taken down automatically.

  They followed the DMCA takedown notice. They are not supposed to know who is or isn't authorized to distribute a version of a document. Even if they are identical, some, but not all links may be infringing. You can signal several infringing links per request, I don't know why the OP didn't do so. I checked all the PDFs present in the "all 95 versions", five of them lead to a copy of the book, the others are either 404 or slides for courses that use the book as reference material.
