Hmm, good point. Up until recently, it was hard to argue that that's
actively facilitating piracy. But I believe presently the technology and
power is there for Google to block indexing of known pirate sites. I think
inaction on their part currently is borderline, and if the software
companies had their act together, they could help fill the legislative
vacuum concerning such matters. A big part of this legislation should be
protecting those providers that implement such filters. That's why I think
the EU directive a couple of threads up would be a good idea to implement. I
think it's inevitable that Internet as a lawless zone won't last forever.
