not really a new feature, you could always search for torrents... just a feature made easier !


Because authorities wouldn't be able to get hold of Google's search logs or anything like that.


yes. but now: sue Google, instead of 4 Swedish young men ! :)


They aren't actually tracking these torrents though, unlike TPB. I can see where people are attempting to make the parallel (and why), but it really falls flat when you consider that Google is only being used to search for torrents, not store them.


It's possible that Google IS illegal according to that poorly worded Swedish law. But so what? It's not unconstitutional and I doubt anyone will care unless they actually did start going after legit sites.
