"The much-praised Chilling Effects DMCA archive has taken an
unprecedented step by censoring its own website. Facing criticism from
copyright holders, the organization decided to wipe its presence from
all popular search engines. A telling example of how pressure from
rightsholders causes a chilling effect on free speech."
