Google Battles Alleged Pirates
Recently Google has begun changing its search algorithms. Copyright holders can submit takedown requests to Google, and Google will shunt the website down a few rankings in its search engine.
For example, mp3skull.com is a free mp3 download website, where users can download soundtracks and other things in mp3 format. Basically, a piracy website. This website has recieved over 3,000,000 takedown requests, so Google is finally trying to take the website down. But it is not that easy, because there are a lot of different searches that could yield this website, and that just makes it harder to takedown.
Another example is when you search *blank* full movie download free, a bunch of results come up and one usually is a piracy website:
So Google is also trying to get rid of those. For example, the above picture shows the results, and the first one looks like a piracy website
In conclusion, I think this will reduce piracy a lot!
