Just FYI,

Andreas Heldal-Lund, webmaster of www.xenu.net, got a DMCA
notification letter from Google earlier today. In the letter, a long
list of URLs were listed as infringing, and Google apparently complied
with the DMCA request by removing them. You can see the letter here:

http://xenu.net/news/20020320-google.txt

Of course this opens up a huge can of worms regarding whether or
not mere links are infringing.

Quote from Google.com e-mail 20.03.2002: [START]
We removed certain specific URLs in response to a notification
submitted by the Religious Technology Center and Bridge Publications
under section 512(c)(3) of the the Digital Millenium Copyright Act
(DMCA).  Had we not removed these URLs, we would be subject to a claim
for copyright infringement, regardless of its merits.  The URLs
included in that notification are attached to this email. Pursuant to
sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA, you have the ability to submit
a counter notification, in which event we can reinstate the material. 
As stated in section 512(g)(3), the contents of this notification must
include the following: (A) A physical or electronic signature of the
subscriber. (B) Identification of the material that has been removed
or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the
material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
(C) A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a
good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a
result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed
or disabled. (D) The subscriber's name, address, and telephone number,
and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of
Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address
is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United
States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be
found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the
person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an
agent of such person. Here are the urls mentioned in the complaint
that I believe are related to your site: www.xenu.net/
