Did you not read my post? I said they could easily (relatively) solve the issue of these guys turning up in search results. The problem they can't solve, I argue, is to ensure that people violating copyright law (of some arbitrary country)

Edit: parent made a retrospective edit to add the link after I had made this post. So again, I ask: - is Google meant to run a background check on each and every report? - does this not put Google at risk of being sued by the removed advert
