The people who would find it in dark corners don't really matter any more than the people who just collect files do. It is what the majority do that counts, not what a very small minority do. By removing links from Google you would directly affect that majority, forcing them to read someone else's book instead of yours. Which, as we all know, is what every writer wants.
