Now, you know what the RIAA really has in mind, don't ya'?

"RIAA pulls 20 million links off Google, but "system isn't working"

http://j.mp/10nne0X  (ars technica)

   "Buckles goes on to suggest that Google doesn't do anything to punish
    pirate sites, even when it receives hundreds of notices about a site.
    He even discusses the idea that the RIAA needs to send a full URL,
    calling it a "controversial interpretation" of copyright law by a tech
    company."

Now, you know what the RIAA really has in mind, don't ya'?  They want
to be able to just say something like "Any time you see a mention of
this song that might be a download, delete it."  They hate having to
deal with specific URLs, and they'd love to move complaints of
incorrect takedowns over to Google and others.  Under the kind of
scheme the RIAA has in mind, the RIAA would be even more insulated
from collateral damage to innocents, which at the moment costs them
almost nothing at all, since there are essentially no DMCA penalties
for false takedown claims.
