15 February 2010 — Google Shuts Down Music Blogs
According to this article from the Guardian, Google has been deleting music blogs for infringing on copyrights, without bothering to confirm that such infringements have really occurred.
The comments are informative, as it seems that a lot of people think it's not an issue, or that if they'd really cared about their content they shouldn't have been hosting their sites on a free web-hosting service. Aside from the troubling nature of the report, I'm always unpleasantly surprised to see how much some internet-savvy people hold their less knowledgeable peers in contempt.
Also a little disappointed to see the Guardian resort to the cheap move of featuring a screen-grab of the popular blog Gorilla Vs. Bear, even though it hasn't been affected by the crackdown.
