    Thanks for the link. Though, as patents take an age to be granted, this is the same technology Google has been using for a while to detect DC. And we know, from various sources, that though Google wants to keep DC out of its index, it does that by ranking only the version of the content on the site with the most authority, not by applying any kind of penalty.
