Google search finds seafaring solution - Times Online

With the Internet becoming a daily utility for millions of people, the tendency is to want to limit it in some way. That's been the case since its beginnings and now governments--not just authoritarian ones--are either moving to control parts of it (Homeland Security, anyone?) or are being used as tools for corporate attempts at control (ComCast and RIAA, anyone?)

Always-innovative Google is out to sea on this one. Literally.

The business benefit (reduced taxes) is obvious; the legal implications are ultimately more important.
