Does this mean that Google's going to be in trouble when the RIAA discovers that you can do this: "insert song name here" filetype:torrent
?
Considering that TorrentSpy didn't hold any infringing material and merely served links, I wonder what sort of criteria need to be met to be liable for "facilitating" infringement. Are they going to hold telecom companies liable for facilitating the organization of crimes over the phone? Hard to say where to draw the line.. though it was a civil case I suppose, and thus as far as I'm aware, people can be found accountable on flimsier cases.
