Gigaom: "On Copyright, Eric Schmidt Is Right and Britain Is Wrong"

"Although he made them in London, Schmidt's comments were actually
about the newly-introduced U.S. Protect IP Act, which - among other
things - would give the government the ability to seize control of the
global domain-name (DNS) system and pull "pirate" websites down
automatically. Provisions in the act could also open Google and other
search engines up to private lawsuits based on their failure to police
piracy. But the Google chairman's comments also resonated with his
British audience because that country is currently in the midst of a
debate over proposed revisions to its copyright laws."
