   I like how everyone is trying to make the internet a different experience based on your location. When will this site no longer be available to me because i do not live in the US and have to pay an extra tariff? get cracking on that government, your telcos need you!

   They try and make the citizens look like the villains but the true villains are the governments.

   how silly

   torrents have clear non infringing uses, such as helping open source developers distribute software even without a ton of bandwidth at their disposal. Asking google to do away with autocomplete for anything having to do with that technology is unreasonable.

   Obligations create risk

   What would happen if they had not fought the lawsuit and accepted the obligation to censor search suggestions the way the entertainment industry demands?
   
   1. They would have set themselves up for fines and more lawsuits if any violations were found in the future.
   2. They would have had to invest more resources into implementing and maintaining the system demanded by SNEP. Their own voluntary implementation is probably much simpler and cheaper in detail and still prevents future lawsuits.

   Fact: "Jurassic" entertainment is still the most popular entertainment in the world.

   Next up...

   I completely agree. When I type in IDIOT, it autocompletes CONGRESSMAN. When I type in MORON, it autocompletes SENATOR. When I type in MONEY WHORE, it ... well, do it yourself and see what you get. It's embarassing to do this to our venerable officials. So, GOOGLE... turn off that autocomplete, or at least make it lie so we can move closer to 1984 than we are now.

    You are confused and/or are seriously deficient in reading comprehension.
    
    One of the subjects, but not the only subject, discussed on this blog is the unreasonable expansion of copyright far beyond its constitutional purpose.

    The video game industry in all formats dwarfs the movie and music industries. Let's not even get into the associated advertising industries tied to many of those video games.
