Google has reported on the suppression of pirate links in search results
Many of us at least once when you search something in Google (e.g. search for movies by name) was faced with the message that material has been deleted at the request of owners (to be honest, the exact wording I do not remember). It is clear that corporations have to delete many thousands of such references — in fact the copyright holders not kidding, I can sue for failure to comply with legal requirements. It turns out that employees of the company had to remove many hundreds of thousands of such references.
In the days of "Corporation of Good" has provided another report, which seem the true size of such filtering for pirated links. Only last month, for example, the Corporation had to remove more than a million links to pirated content (movies, music, games, etc.).
A request to delete the other links can be done on a special page, section, created by Google for work with the rights holders. According to the company, after the commencement of this section for a week receives more applications than were filed in 2009. It is clear that not all complaints are true, but the law (remember the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)) requirements, the Corporation must comply with.
Don't know how the employees handle the volume of requests (of course, that workers too much, but because of links — hundreds of thousands, and they should be checked by evaluating the legitimacy of demands for deletion), but the average interval between application for removal and the removal is 11 hours. You see, the result is impressive.
An interesting nuance is that now the company will publish detailed information about deleted material showing why and who demanded the removal of the other links. According to experts, this innovation may be resistant to rights holders, but there's nothing you can do about it — all the law. By the way, this month the most active copyright holder, need to remove the largest number of links from search results, was the Microsoft Corporation.
