[ga] Where's ICANN on this one? - UK's RIAA Goes After Google Using the US DMCA

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Seems that ICANN has some work and responsibility here.
See: 
A http://chillingeffects.org/dmca512c/notice.cgi?NoticeID=40373
DMCA takedown notice has been directed at Google and authored 
by the British Phonographic Industry, Britain's equivalent of 
the RIAA. P2pnet identifies the BPI as the outfit that 
"http://www.p2pnet.net/story/40831 contributed to the British 
government's Digital Economy bill, complete with its ACTA
Three Strikes and you're Off The Net element, with hardly a murmur from
the UK lamescream media." Are there any precedents for a UK trade
organization attempting to use an http://dmcanotice.com/
American law to force an American company to take down links to 
UK-copyrighted material?
