For a second I actually thought they were blaming Google for this   Is there anyone on the planet who actually believes Google would choose to purge information, ever?  Google should be spanked a little for doing this in such an emotionless way.  But unless someone comes back and proves that they didn't violate the terms of service and did not violate copyright laws, then why is anyone blaming Google? 

Who's the villain in this suspense thriller? 

Google has deleted at least six popular music blogs that it claims violated copyright law.

It gets better all the time.  IP extremists would choose to blame big bad Google for navigating through the worthless laws they create and enforce.  Google is a tiny ant compared to the monsters of IP.  They're truly terrible mobsters, that despicable Art Mafia we blindly and endlessly support.

I always find these type of news funny. Google is linking themselves to more copyright shit you can count. For example check this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=intitle%3A”index+of%2F”“parent+directory”+intitle%3A”mp3”+%2B”james+brown”+%2Bpayback+-filetype%3Ahtm+-filetype%3Ahtml&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=
