Does it just prevent you from sharing the files or does it prevent you from accessing the file as well?

Just tried that, and I get a "request a review" link. Interesting.

"Unable to share This item may violate our Terms of Service - Request a review"

Clicking on it, though, gives no joy:

"451. Sorry, Google is unable to process your request. This item was taken down for legal reasons and cannot be appealed. Please visit the Legal Removals Requests page for more information."

Someone just needs to copyright the number 451 and then they won't be able to return that HTTP response!

Checkmate, google!

Someone already did.

Fahrenheit 451.

The flashpoint of wood pulp paper.

You... didn't think that wasn't specifically chosen for that reason, right?

Google search publishes the DMCA letter that takes down search results. It's sad they don't do the same here.
