This is U.S. legal precedent. Napster was shut down because it was deemed
a technology specifically designed for copyright infringement without
substantial non-infringing uses.

Search engines, on the other hand, have historically been okay unless they
censored some content, in which they were deemed to be taking
responsibility for the non-filtered content.
