"There's a lot of background here that's important (beyond just the MPAA
really hates Google). First, as you know, the MPAA has certainly not
given up on its SOPA desire to get certain websites completely blocked."
That looks a lot like political corruption. They've been putting a lot
of pressure on here in Australia, too, leading to the new proposals by
the government to force ISPs to do the bidding of the multinational
corporate rightsholders.
