Google accused over piracy
America's biggest media companies have accused Google of knowingly encouraging copyright theft by suggesting to illegal movie download sites that they place adverts to appear in response to search terms such as pirated and bootleg, report the Guardian.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, Viacom, Walt Disney and Time Warner are among a group of leading television and film producers that has complained about a lack of controls at Google. Their anger centres on a case going through the courts in New York state surrounding five defunct movie download websites with names such as TheDownloadPlace.com, MoviesAdvance.com and EasyDownloadCenter.com.
