Well, I highly suspect the lawyers you talked to to be full of it.

All google does is link to stuff. Linking - is not copyright infringement. It's just not. No lawyer on this planet could prove otherwise. IF anyone did, it would be in direct violation of the first amendment and the internet would cease to exist.

Linking to a website isn't harboring. Harbor means to give refuge or shelter to, this is not in any way what Google is doing.

I don't know how the government can be compared to this situation? But Google is not making millions off copyrighted content, nore are they stealing anything. They simply link. Linking to something is not the same as stealing.


btw: I'm in no way trying to be an ass here. This type of stuff is just a huge interest to me (the legality of the internet and the laws inherit to it). So I'm only trying to debate the idea.
