The Last Wicked 251 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Google has filed a brief at a federal court in Florida defending the file-hosting site Hotfile in its case against the MPAA. The search giant accuses the movie companies of misleading the court and argues that Hotfile is protected under the DMCA’s safe harbor. Indirectly, Google is also refuting claims being made by the US government in the criminal case against Megaupload... : http://torrentfreak.com/google-defends-hotfile-and-megaupload-in-court-120319/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntblifox 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 Google is doing this to save itself in the future. The way the MPAA is closing down everything, very soon google's services like youtube and google drive will also come under fire. The way i see it is that Google is stepping in and trying to prevent the MPAA from getting a toehold in the government. It is a good thing also for small companies with the support of a giant like Google. It gives them more credibility in court and also more media coverage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
