It turns out that asking a piece of software to decide which websites should be censored and which ones are legitimate has some problems, which I think comes as a surprise to all of us.
But it’s true!
Warner Brothers is one of many companies that uses software robots to compile lists of pirate websites, which are then turned over to search engines, hosting providers and other online services, accompanied with a legal demand that these sites be removed, on pain of legal retribution.
Warner Brothers is also one of many companies that make dumb, risible mistakes when it draws up this million-URL censorship demands.
But Warner Brothers does have the distinction of being one of the few companies sloppy enough to repeatedly demand the removal of its own site.
