I think that google.co.uk is still hosted in the US, (if you look at the ip address for .com and .co.uk they're the same) so the ruling still applies to it.

I can see where the originators of Kazaa are coming from, they put the effort into creating the program and are being hurt by the hacked version (Kazaa lite).

On the other hand, there is the free speech issue. It is up to the individual what they want to search for, if they want to search for illegal software then that is their decision. Google really has no responsibility for what people use it's technology for.
