Tracking down sources are not always as simple as spending a few clicks on a search engine. I particularly find talks to be problematic, as the content is not indexed, nor is it easy to remember which n'th talk the speaker said a particular fact. You basically have to re-watch them all, which for a few comments I have done.

Worse is legal case findings which for whatever reason, the media did not pick up. Take the statement that in Swedish law, people who produce or run a webservice can be made liable if the majority of users use the service for illegal purposes? That facts is basically impossible to find using a search, even through it is written plainly as a simple Q&A in the appeal court judgment of the TPB trial. If the case had been that I forgot where I read it, a search query would not have helped me in tracking it down.
