The Pirate Bay, Torrentz And Other Torrent Sites Will Become More Significant; Google To Remove 50 Million 4Shared Links
C. de LacyGoogle is going the extra mile with its aim to aid the digital copyright trolls by requesting to remove 50 million links from 4shared, which is one of the popular file-sharing sites that comes as the best alternative to torrenting.
Just a day ago, Torrent Freaks reported that Google have already received its absurd amount of file takedown request that reached 50 million and this is just from the popular file-sharing site called 4shared.
A lot of people use this service to put files online without the need to use torrent services like The Pirate Bay, Torrentz, Kickass etc. It is a direct download service with just a few limitation on speed and a bit of ads. However, as this news suggests, the site is being hugely abused for sharing copyrighted materials like songs, videos, applications etc.
4shared is an extremely good alternative to torrent sites as it has one of the largest collections of various files that would normally be just seen on sites like The Pirate Bay. It explains a lot that the site itself already has a DMCA takedown procedure ongoing that lets rightholders removes the files on the fly.
Just last year, 4shared received a whopping amount of 35 million takedown requests for different files and media types. It easily tops Google's most reported domain names right now as uploaders from rapidgator might have already come up with a tricky way of avoiding such scenarios.
With the figure as shown here, 4shared might appear to have been even more notorious in the piracy scene, but it isn't to say that the site ignores this. The people from 4shared have integrated numerous counter measures to combat digital piracy, but not a lot of music industry groups seems to care at all.
Instead, as the report says, almost every music industry who got their copyrighted materials leaking on sites like 4shared have taken the matters to Google instead, piling the requests up to 50 million or so.
Stay tuned for more news on the torrent and file-sharing scene.
