If I were Google I would ban the whole domain, clearly a lot of piracy here! That way they might be more careful in the future.

#12I don't see the problem here. If they so desperately want the content removed, then Google should happily kill all of those links right away!
Complying and taking down the legitimate links should force WB to properly review their requests.
This case is kind of funny, but something similar started happening when banks started automating foreclosures. People who were up to date on their mortgages were getting evicted from exactly the same kind of negligence WB is exhibiting here.

How does one get evicted due to a computer error? Wouldn't a rather simple court case be able to determine that X amount was being paid to be bank every month?

In his book 'Bailout', the Special Inspector General of TARP, Neil Barofsky, lists a multitude of reasons as to why so many Americans were wrongly foreclosed on by mortgage servicers.
At the top of the list was fraud and lies by the mortgage servicers, many of whom lied to homeowners and convinced them to skip payments on their homes in the hopes of qualifying for a modification, so that they could rack up late fees and then foreclose.

#15I hope that Google complied with the law and demanded to have legal proof that they weren't violating the DMCA before they reindexed the material.
Then it would be nice to sue them to kingdom come.

You just used the words "rather simple court case" in the same sentence.

#17Just goes to show that no thought enters their flagging.
They were taken down for copyright, not gross public indecency!

Banks were signing off on the erroneous foreclosures without properly reviewing them. And, if Matt Taibbi is to believed, the courts weren't of much help to the victims of fraudulent forclosures. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/matt-taibbi-courts...

Agreed, take the site down. If they feed the request was made in error,then there's a process for that.
If I was a snarky lawyer, I would offer to represent them against themselves, pro bono.
As a snarky non-lawyer, I'd offer to defend them from themselves for a literal mountain of cash.
