"While we frequently hear Hollywood insisting that (1) copyright is
never used for censorship, and (2) that Google is too permissive in
allowing infringement, this simple case is showing just how wrong that
is and how serious an impact that can have. When important news stories
are being censored as an illicit form of a "right to be forgotten" that
should concern all of us (not to mention raise some 1st Amendment
questions about the DMCA)"
