Thread: Google to begin punishing pirate sites in search results

  1. #1
    "Google constantly tweaks how its search engine delivers results to people, but it's rolling out a major new change next week: it'll start generally downranking sites that receive a high volume of copyright infringement notices from copyright holders. Google says the move is designed to "help users find legitimate, quality sources of content more easily" — meaning that it's trying to direct people who search for movies, TV shows, and music to sites like Hulu and Spotify, not torrent sites or data lockers like the infamous MegaUpload." http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/10/32...copyright-dmca
    or

    One of the sites I see a huge amount of copyright infringement is a video site called Youtube. Do you think they will cut that site down to size?

    Just because they "downrank" a site doesnt mean google wont still host the link... so everythings all good right?
