Google Fighting Piracy With Search Result Demoting

[alidan]

if the mpaa says you are doing something right, you are doing something very wrong.

This will probably also place many non-piracy related sites, lower on the list, reducing the quality of the search engine in general.

Haha...so basically Google is gonna give us a new excuse why their paid advertisers (like Hulu and Spotify) are on top of the search list. We need to stop supporting them with our searches.

Time to find a new search engine. I better google that!

Like this'll stop anyone... Heck, I know a guy who's 11 and is completely familiar with TPB. Yet again, anti-piracy efforts that fail to put a dent in piracy.

 

[christarp]

so if I'm looking for piracy on google I just skip to the last page?

Not going to help, but I bet Google knows this. This will just appease the idiots who keep on nagging them.

 

[shahrooz]

who googles for torrents when there is isohunt torrentz and TPB

 

[inerax]

They have pirate only search engines. They search many pirate sites.... much better than searching google for this stuff.

The internet gets a little more fucked every day huh?

Clear conflict of interest here - guarantee Google won't stop promoting youtube results even though youtube would easily violate this policy. Google are promoting their own business under the guise of copyright

 

[mindless728]

well it is really easy when using filetype:torrent in the search, gets rid of all that pesky non-torrent results
