Search or Piracy: isoHunt sez "we're exactly like Google"

"Sez"? Really? I'd hope for a more intelligent default level of discourse at HN.<p>And no, this isn't the article headline.

A 90% overlap in the files indexed by isoHunt and Google won't save them if 90+% of isoHunt's use is infringing.

This argument is weak as Google is not positioned or marketed for the purpose of downloading copyright material and those who use it for piracy are an extreme minority.<p>A search engine that is affiliate with Bit Torrent conjures up "ah i can download the latest movie, music,etc for free." Ask yourself how many times you used piratebay or isohunt to download the latest linux distro or ask the crowd the same thing. Unless these sites go back in time and start their grass roots marketing with download the latest linux and public domain materials they always will be thought of the way to get the latest copyrighted material for free and stick to the man. Though if they went that route you'd never would have heard of them.
