Kesey, you're making an assumption that I am under constant stress... that I am looking for a personal solution to a personal situation. As I've mentioned repeatedly, I am a web developer. I know all about how to secure a site.

What I'm really discussing here are the underlying principles of how Google (and other search engines) operate, and the role of copyright (and advertising) in the development of the web.

If you believe that "information wants be free", then you should be concerned at the role advertisers play in the development of web content. "Context-driven advertising" is already shifting to "advertising-driven content", and Google is the entity most responsible for that.

Ideally, I want a web that is driven by content authors. I think the future web will have "search agents" rather than "search engines". Rather than go to a "search engine" which consumes sites and offers results/ads, we'll be able to construct custom search agents and send out our own spiders and bots, which will return results without violating copyright and without weighting the results based on advertising campaigns. Personal sytsems will become powerful enough to create your own individual "search cache", and web sites will cooperate in communicating and updating "subscribers". In essence, "Google" will become irrelevant.
