As I understood it, the law applies to all search engines located in the EU (so they could easily just leave the EU and the law wouldn't apply), it's just that Google is being focussed on because it's the most popular.
The book proposal Gawker published consists of lots of details and snippets of her forthcoming book. I don't think Gawker can justify posting the full proposal as fair use, since the original post consisted primarily of insulting comments aimed at Dunham and her polarizing personality, rather than of the proposal and proposed book.
Given she has to sell way more than $3.7m worth of books, can you really blame her for attempting to pull 66 pages worth of proposed contents and samples of said contents? Also, this just gives her way more publicity and think she knows (and probably doesn't care) just how love/hate she is...
I think they're on about illegal live streams, not youtube videos (eg. A load of illegal BBC Sports streams popped up during the world cup, which is odd because we can watch it live on the iPlayer anyway)
Forgive me if I'm being stupid but...
How is sending a large amount of traffic to a website, to bring down the servers illegal? What could they be sued for, if they find who originated the attack?
What kind of support/allowances/procedures could facebook make for people with disabilities and how many people with disabilities would tell facebook or want them to know?

If she ever wants another book to be published by Random House, she has to sell well over $3.7m worth of books, which doesn't sound that easy to me...

Steve Angello is also famous for anti-piracy rants on twitter, he noticabley annoys his fanbase whenever he does it though

I believe US courts work on an innocent until proven guilty base (except in certain cases)

It's probably more a case of the British Press trying to shove the blame on to someome else, to stop them looking bad

I wasn't suggesting that Mike drove her to the cliff, but merely pushed her over the edge
Re: I love it.
Allen no longer records for EMI after a spat with Mike over her campaign against piracy, which is probably more what they're going for

I thought they were arrested because they hacked other peoples iTunes accounts to buy the tracks which is how they got caught

Re:
Works a lot better than some very nasal guy telling me to f myself (I don't pirate but if I did the polite one would probably be more effective)
Who is Glen Beck and why does he deserve my praise, respect and sympathy? (I'm not stupid I come from the UK and have never heard of him)
Ruin Ireland reputation?
When I think of Ireland I automaticly think good copyright protection...

A Benefit to the bill
If record labels do push the bill you'll probably start to hear more unsigned acts on the radio

It was obvious I meant uninformed. Anyway, I'm sure you've never made an error in your life.
