There's a pattern of queries that's causing Google problems, so they're reacting by filtering queries that look like it. Where's the trouble? I don't think they decide to filter queries out of the blue. In related concerns, see tragedy of the commons.

    I don't have a problem with it as of now. What if worms in the future abuse Google with queries that if blocked will prevent legitimate searches? Will Google continue to block every query a worm uses to hammer its resouces? Who knows.. but I'll be interested to see how this plays out :-)
