Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can't Index

As a part of Purge's first phase, executives will destroy all copyrighted materials that cannot be searched by Google.

"A year ago, Google offered to scan every book on the planet for its Google Print project. Now, they are promising to burn the rest," John Battelle wrote in his widely read "Searchblog." "Thanks to Google Purge, you'll never have to worry that your search has missed some obscure book, because that book will no longer exist. And the same goes for movies, art, and music."

What happened to "Do no Evil"? Well, it must be true, because I read it in America’s Finest News Source. My question is: will libertarians support government action on this one? Or will they hope the Free Market steps in to correct the situation?
