google.com — When I searched for Kazaa on google this appeared at the bottom of the page"In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org."

Well, some forms of DRM open giant backdoors to your system, as well as spy on your computer *cough*SONY*cough*. It also prevents users from doing entirely legal things, like loading thier music onto thier iPod/MP3 player.

I find it funny that they block it in Australia. That's not to say I think it's a good thing.

"Does the DMCA say that search engines are not allowed to index sites which may violate copyright laws?"Yes, if the search engine has been notified by the content owner that the sites may violate copyright laws then search engines must not link to them if they want safe-harbor status. If they did link to it no one knows whether they could be held liable or not, but I guess google didnt want to be the one who fought that legal battle. Odds are that google is better off with no decision on the case than they are taking a chance that the decision will be against them.
