DMCA complaints on Google Search
Today while searching on Google for some windows live messenger winks, I came across a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice message at the bottom of the Google Search Results page, which goes as follows:
In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.
Now I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these messages before on Google, so it was quite interesting to see one. Has anybody else ever seen a message like this for a search query and if so what did you search for?
And by the way yeas I know I was using Google and not Windows Live like I should be, considering I’m a Windows Live Fan, but I like to get results from various search engines! 😉
Update: Just found an interesting page on ChillingEffects.org that contains loads of DMCA Complaints against Google Search and Blogger.

In the last few days I have seen the stuff I used to look for on youtube dissappearing. One reason or another. through searches I cannot find things I found in the past. I am beginning to suspect google. I think they are censoring.
