Aggregating Search Results for Lower Pogo-Sticking?

Shawn, you say that you are not entirely convinced that these sites offer any additional value. So, if you don't see that they're offering value then do you really think that the general public will see them as valuable?

These pages may be ranking for different reasons, and not because of the "lack" of pogo sticking. In fact, they just might have an issue like that but might have enough links and trust on the domain itself to rank well. Pogo sticking is only one search engine ranking factor of many.

From what I understand, Google doesn't take into account the DMCA take down requests when it comes to rankings. They determine the rankings and then at the "search query time" is when they DMCA info is used. So, the page still ranks-- it just doesn't show up when someone searches for it.
