| TorrentSpy I’m not a lawyer, but I believe its called facilitation.
The difference between goggle and yahoo is they will remove illegal content when made aware of it and help in resolving infringements, torrents sites laugh at complaints.
To be a safe harbor you have to take action on complaints or be held liable, something which torrents sites do not and why they're ultimately held liable.
This is my understanding anyway. |
| Google will remove illegal content from YouTube. This is because the Illegal content is physically located on their computers. (users upload content to their servers) So yes, when notified that there is illegal content on their computers they will do the legal thing and remove the illegal files.
Their search site has NO illegal content. Links to illegal content - Yes, but since they're only pointing to it, they're not responsible with what you do with that information. The information they give you is just that, Information. Giving information about illegal activities is not a crime.
As such, Torrent search sites such as PirateBay, fall under the same blanket. They're only supplying information, the information comes in the form of a file. A Google search also supplies you information as a file (.html)
What the individual does with that information is where the legal decision is made. |
