Music Group Wants Google to Remove File-Sharing Links

The British Phonographic Industry, the trade group for the music industry in Great Britain, has requested that Google remove links to some popular file-sharing sites, including Megaupload.com, 4shared.com, Zippyshare.com, and Mediafire.com. "We have identified the following links that are available via Google's search engine," the BPI wrote to Google in a June 11 letter, a copy of which was obtained by the blog Chillingeffects.org.
