I would call it piracy prevention program - that way no one will be able to find piracy content trough google.

Specific to the US, who do you think people will side with? Movie stars or Google Lawyers? I don't see this as being slam-dunk for either side.
Uhhhh... I think the MPAA's popularity has basically been zero since the whole napster thing.

It's probably not too wise to pick on the kids that made it and are swimming in money and power. It'll be The Revenge of the Nerds all over again. Not to mention Google is by now a pretty deft political player.

If I were google I would choose a big upcoming multi billion Hollywood film. And just return empty pages while the marketing campaign is roaring. For the star/cast/everything. I would call it piracy prevention program - that way no one will be able to find piracy content trough google.
