Glad to see you've dialed it back a notch, but you could go a notch further.

Google's service can be accessed from almost anywhere, but Google as an entity doesn't operate in almost every country in the world. It has a business presence in 50 countries- about 25% of the world's nations. Those are the only places it need concern itself about local laws- except when it doesn't.

Crime doesn't care about borders. In fact, borders are an advantage for criminals because they can use them to evade prosecution. Google is facilitating an alleged crime in this case. I doubt if they'd take such a laissez-faire approach if it was their stolen technology that was turning up in Google searches.

Google can eliminate the problematic material from its search results any time it wishes. It would be nice if a Canadian court didn't have to order them to do the right thing, to "not be evil." But it looks more like Google refuses to remove the material for no other reason than it thinks it can.
