Google attacked Hollywood and a state attorney general for attempting to achieve the goals of years-old Internet censorship law.
The search giant said the Motion Picture Association of America, Hollywood's primary lobbying arm, secretly conspired with the attorney general of Mississippi to force changes to the trade of information on the Internet without enacting new laws.
"The MPAA pointed its guns at Google," the company's General Counsel Kent Walker said in a blog post Thursday. He cited emails reported to have come from Sony's top executives by The Verge, detailing an effort to block websites alleged to publish copyrighted material. Walker also said that a letter sent by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood accusing Google of numerous misdeeds was drafted by the MPAA's longtime law firm.
