recent suits against Google and the law that
makes companies or individuals liable for linking
to sites they do not control.

READ WHAT??? 

Google vs. Evil

The world's biggest, best-loved search engine
owes its success to supreme technology and a
simple rule: Don't be evil. Now the geek icon is
finding that moral compromise is just the cost of
doing big business.
