Google plans to cut off funding to DeviantArt, Fanfiction dot Net, MediaMiner, and even Anime News Network

Google is planning to cut off funding to websites that are deemed "illegal", this may include DeviantArt, Fanfiction dot Net, and MediaMiner because they are hosting derivative works of copyrighted material. Anime News Network may also be in danger of losing funding in advertisement because they are linking to copyrighted material from media news sources. Toonzone could also lose funding in advertisement which they post links to copyrighted material from other media sources, while the forum rules prohibit linking to pirated material such as torrents. This also goes with Neogaf, Anime Vice, and Gaijinside.
