The company has long said it will obey the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which requires Internet service providers to remove copyright-infringing works.
Google has said it will always forward DMCA complaints to the accused bloggers. After multiple violations, ISPs are required to boot the alleged offenders.
Don’t forget that Viacom, parent company of Paramount Pictures and MTV, has alleged in a $1 billion lawsuit against Google and YouTube that those companies are not protected by the DMCA. Viacom argues that Google is responsible for copyright violations committed when users upload unauthorized copies of films and TV shows.
But one of the big problems with Google’s latest copyright sweep is that some of the banned blog operators say they are innocent.
