Silly Belgians! Links are for kids!

Official Google Blog: About the Copiepresse decision

Why would you put content on the web that you didn't want to be found? Why would you be upset when the biggest website int he world links to your content? Why would you *SUE* the most important Internet company of all time - when you just had to ask them to remove your site from their index? Why would you even do that, when you can use robot.txt or metatags to prevent your site from being indexed in the first place?

Why? Who knows. I just know that I, along with many other Web users, now believe that Belgian newspapers are run by idiots.
