What the /. post doesn't mention is that Google sends those DMCA C&D's to ChillingEffects.org, which processes them, sending them back to Google, which then removes the link. However, Chilling Effects posts both the C&D and the offending document (which is included in the C&D), which Google points to, in effect, maintaining the information. Since many of the requests, like those from say, Scientologists, are really about chilling speech, it effectively allows the information to remain persistent.
