Google today announced four changes aimed at making copyright protection easier: Copyright takedown requests will be acted upon within 24 hours, AdSense anti-piracy review will be improved, terms “closely associated” with piracy will be prevented from appearing in autocomplete and the company will endeavor to make authorized preview content more available in its search results. The changes will take place over the next few months.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
