Hmmm.....


USTR has put Baidu, the Chinese search engine on its list of notorious markets for pirated goods.
The thing that's probably bugging me about this is that if people tried to, you can also hunt for pirated goods on search engines like Google and Bing.

Also, just another thought, but what counts as censorship or truncating information if we selectively refuse search engines to show links to certain sites? It may be my simplistic thinking, but it makes more sense to go after the site that uploads the illegal content rather than the search engine that helps filter your search results.
