News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Sorry to be that guy, but this is exactly why lawyers and IP protection were invented.

As a hacker, I hate that these are needed. As a member of society that tries to be considerate and respectful of others, this seems like a ridiculous and wateful overhead.

However, as a realist with some experience in being brain-raped by a bigger company, unfortunately you need to protect yourself from the people that aren't nice or don't care.

How are those useful when it is likely that the copycats are in a different country?

You send the request to Google and not the copy cat sites.

It's expensive but possible to enforce IP protection globally.

So that doesn't really help with the stated goal of being "brain-raped" by a larger company then.
