So, when will Google have to start censoring Holocaust Denialist sites because those materials are forbidden in Europe? Or information about contraception because it became forbidden in Iran? Or pictures of women driving because it is illegal in Saudi Arabia? Or anything referencing gay marriage because it is forbidden in Russia?
Any more red herrings?
Again, I must admit, the articles are extremely unclear about just what remedy was expected from Google. The sentence that I quoted was what gave me the impression that the judge decided that nobody in the world should be able to use Google find the websites that sell the infringing product. And blocking google.com inside Canada would not do that.
If you have any information that clarifies this point and shows that this decision was not a massive legal overreach and a dangerous precedent, Rob, please post it. I would be overjoyed if my concerns were misfounded. But leave the sarcasm out.
