The Google law is not liked! For those who think I exaggerate read the
quote below - preferably the whole article.

"The point about Google is an important one in the thorny issue of
copyright change, because it is chiefly companies like Google who are
pushing for changes which would make their objectives and plans for
content domination easier to achieve. The report goes further in this
regard, noting the 'numerous complaints across the creative spectrum
about the perceived power and influence of Google in the Government's
inner, policy-making sanctum.' It then quotes the Parliamentary
Under-Secretary of State for Intellectual Property, *Viscount Younger of
Leckie* (now my favourite Viscount):
"Google is one of several search engines...and I am very aware of
their power, put it that way. I am also very aware, I think, that
they have access, for whatever reason, to higher levels than me in
No. 10, I understand."
