Yes, they do but they aren't required by any law to black list a site because the site might be under copyright infringement. The point being, Google is not infringing on any copyright, the website they list is. It's not illegal for Google to list them

Same point as above.

They aren't breaking any law. Plus, you're talking about copyright infringement not breaking a law.

No it's not. Youtube isn't linking to another site with the video. They are hosting the video, and that video is apart of their site. This is not the case with Google.

They're not putting content up though. They're only linking to the website. There is no breach of copyright. Even if the site they link to might be under copyright infringement, google is not.

I see no case. If you can name what you would sue Google over, or how you could possible try to sue them for copyright infringement. I mean, where is the copyright infringement? Point it out and you might have a case.

No, because that is illegal. It's very different.
