Type: Press
Author(s): Lisa M. Bowman
Source: CNET
Buckling under pressure from the Church of Scientology, the Internet Archive has removed a church critic's Web site from its system. The Internet Archive, a site that preserves snapshots of old Web pages and bills itself as "a library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form," no longer contains links to archival pages of Xenu.net. Instead, surfers are pointed to a page telling them the site was taken down "per the request of the site owner." However, Xenu.net ...

GOOGLE, the company behind the popular Web search engine, has been playing a complicated game recently that involves the Church of Scientology and a controversial copyright law. Legal experts say the episode highlights problems with the law that can make companies or individuals liable for linking to sites they do not control. And it has turned Google, whose business is built around a database of two billion Web pages, into a quiet campaigner for the freedom to link. The church sent ...

Google Begins Making DMCA Takedowns Public — Linux Journal
Type: Press
Author(s): Don Marti
Source: Linux Journal
Attention DMCA lawyers: Try to remove a web site from Google's index and you'll probably just make it more popular. In an apparent response to criticism of its handling of a threatening letter from a Church of Scientology lawyer, the popular search engine Google has begun to make so-called "takedown" letters public. DMCA-censored pages are now two clicks and a cut-and-paste away from the regular search results. The full text of two new letters to Google, dated April 9 and 10, ...
