Well, that's certainly what I said.
 


But really, go ahead and shut down a site like google then, for consistency, since it has searchable info that links to torrents.  And it has ads with such links placed on countless sites, like this.

You rarely 'Say' anything, just leave a vague impression of approval or disapproval.

 Google has a track record of shutting out websites and vendors that are dealing in counterfeit merchandise, amirite?

I'm going to suppose that the search engines in question here exist SOLELY for the purpose of allowing copyright infringement or violating trademark law.

But as you say, they're EXACLY the same thing, so shut 'em down.
