Find MP3s with Google - does this make Google liable to a lawsuit, too?
One of the currently popular items on Digg is showing how to find MP3 files through Google. This is not a new concept, it has been around for quite a while, and it was pointed in the comments of the Digg story that several idiot-proof tools for searching MP3 files through Google already exist, making it even easier. One of them is Cr3ation B3ta, another one is G2P, and there are probably more. Since Google search allows for quite a powerful syntax, interesting queries can be made which come up with very specific results. Someone once figured how to see what surveillance cameras see through a simple Google search, and now people are doing the same thing to get free MP3s.
However, two aspects of this story strike me as very interesting. First one stems from the short description of the G2P tool. The quote goes:
Why would we want to use Google to find MP3s instead of using P2P apps?
-P2P/BT is being monitored — Using Google we can download a lot more safely
And it’s true. With the RIAA throwing their John Doe lawsuits everywhere they can, people are looking for different ways to share music. Some of them would even go legal - if there weren’t for DRM. So, they pursue other alternatives.
The other interesting aspect of this story is apparent in the light of Viacom’s recent lawsuit against YouTube, and thus, effectively Google. Viacom’s lawyers claim that YouTube has the capability to remove and/or filter copyrighted materials uploaded by users to YouTube. Fine. Maybe it’s true (it still doesn’t mean that Viacom is right, but let’s leave it be for the sake of argument).
But, does Google also have the capability to filter and remove every MP3 file from their indexes? Should they also be sued for allowing their search function to be used as a tool to share/download MP3 files (most of which are illegal from RIAA’s standpoint)? If you think that Viacom is rightfully suing YouTube, why shouldn’t they (or the RIAA) sue Google for each and every audio or video file available through Google search?
I’m sure that Google has the capability to filter these items. They have a lot of money - they can probably hire millions of students to count the sand in the Sahara desert, too. Just because something can - in theory - be done, it doesn’t matter that it’s practical, or that it’s fair to make someone do it. Google, YouTube, and the old Napster - all those were just tools. Since the music and the movie industry can’t go after all the users individually, they’ll keep on suing the people who provide the tools to share music and videos. But the original, the biggest, and the ultimate tool is the Internet. Sue it, if you can.

[…] Google mp3 search - this isn’t searching in podcast feeds, this is searching HTML pages. […]

I’ve made a special search engine for this! It’s called Search Hacker. You can easily find MP3 files and many other file type formats like: mpg, avi, mov, wmv, 3gp, webcams, torrents, wav, mid, avi,…you name it!
Have a try.

Search Hacker has a sister site called Cam Hacker which can be used for searching unprotected live webcams. Search Hacker deservers to be in your bookmarks, however, if you are a hard working sucker, then you can try searching the hard way. http://www.camhacker.com

Hi there Guru, what made you want to write on Find MP3s with Google - does this make Google liable to a lawsuit, too?? I was wondering, because I have been thinking about this since last Thursday.

Some time back, my 3-year old computer was running so slow that I had to buy a new computer. Or at least I thought I needed a new computer. Then within a matter of weeks of surfing on the Internet, my new computer was also running so slowly. In addition, some programs did not run well on my computer, and I did not recognize some of the programs that were running on my computer. That scared me most. Were these programs that were tracking my keystrokes on my computer or programs I just not remember installing? I knew I had to find a answer and solution fast. The truth is, we can all put up with a slow computer, but very few of us would want others to have access to the information on our computers, but that is exactly what can happen when spyware or malware is loaded on our computers without our knowledge.
