I am unfollowing you because I find that attitude distasteful and counterproductive. As for this topic: are you really saying that it is ok to be punished for something you didn't do if the punishment is comparatively minor? I would be interested in your responses to my other points. How will this reduce meaningful copyright infringement?

Man that is really priceless. I blocked you so you don't need to unfollow. And the only people who should have a problem with this decision by Google are people who infringe. If you are an infringer - then you deserve this. And to add perspective (which is something you seem to lack in your life) this is a punishment that involves page rank - not a firing squad. Feel free to publish this or not - I won't bother reading your response because you took YOUR ball and ran home. :) LOL you tweet at me that you will be unfollowing me right before you accuse ME of taking my ball and running home because someone disagrees with them.
