Search engines' plans to help combat piracy seek extra safeguards that existing EU law does not provide, expert says

Search engines' plans to help combat piracy seek extra safeguards that existing EU law does not provide, expert says: "Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft have drawn up a series of "principles" to guide how rights holders should act when issuing them with requests for the removal of infringing content from search indexes as well as the responsibilities search engines themselves should be required to conform to. The plans were published (4-page / 43KB PDF) by digital rights campaign group the Open Rights Group (ORG) who obtained details of the proposals via a freedom of information (FOI) request to the Government."
