In 2014 Google received requests for removal of 345 million links alleged pirates, that is, allowing access to copyright-protected content. Beads made to US giant average received requests to remove about 945 000 links per day.
The technology of Mountain View does not present annual reports on this activity, but the publication Torrent Freak joined all weekly reports released by the company and concluded that there was an increase of 75% to total values of 2013.
Most of the reported links even end up being removed from search engine results and the increase in the number of reported links is reportedly related to a higher pressure than the editorial groups are exerting with Google.
Not that the company have harmed sites with pirated links in search engine ranking will have been enough to make fewer requests reached the company.
4shared platforms, Rapidgator and Uploaded.Net are among the fastest in the applications made – each with more than five million links. Only the British Phonographic Industry (BPI its acronym in English) have made request the removal of 60 million links.
While acknowledging the problem of piracy, Google also believes that “the right combination of price, convenience and content will do more to reduce piracy than coercion does,” alluding to services such as Netflix or Spotify.
