You are obviously not that familiar with the DMCA. There are
specific safe-harbor provisions for ISPs and networks which are merely
transiting and/or caching traffic. I have to believe you've never
actually implemented any of the strategies and claims you're
pontificating about.
Of course, the best way to ensure you don't look bad in Google is to
try hard to post only intelligent questions and comments to mailing
lists - for example, by searching web archives of the mailing list or
employing common sense - and to post intelligent answers when you have
them. Not acting like a buffoon will go a long way on the Net. Of
course that may be just too hard for a few people.
