The Pirate Bay And Other Pirated Movie Hosting Sites To Disappear From Google's Search Engines? What We Know On The Torrent Scene
C. de LacySites that are getting traffic for pirated movies might be having their last days as Google has been taking unannounced actions against these offenders. Will this include The Pirate Bay and other more popular torrenting sites as well?
For some time now, Google has been taking some of the heat from the torrenting scene, particularly with piracy. In return, Google has been making some "amendments" through various means and that includes blocking off blocking off misleading sites for information.
However, it would seem that Google is getting more serious as indicated with the recent report by TorrentFreak. This post covers something about several movie pirating sites getting removed from Google's search results.
Sites like 123movies and Fmovies are notorious when it comes to movie piracy and both sites also gets millions of visitors daily.
According to the report, there were tons of requests for getting these sites removed, but Google never said yes to any of these requests or at the very least, nobody have heard about anything Google agreeing to get these done.
However, some of these movie piracy sites have vanished from Google's search pages. The two mentioned sites have been missing since then from the search and some URLs have gone missing from the internet as well and not just merely being removed from the search index.
To further make things more interesting, the official Facebook pages for these sites have also vanished, suggesting that the removal may have something to do with legal copyright issues. However, there's no assurance whether these removal have something to do with copyright issues.
TorrentFreak reached out to Google directly to clarify the events, though as of the time of writing, the tech giant is yet to disclose any information. Still, there's a good chance that this has something to do with Google's policy about copyrighted materials and got the sites removes as some sort of penalty.
There's also the possibility that these sites were put down under a court order, but until Google states their side of the story, we're yet to tell what's going to happen next and if The Pirate Bay and other torrent sites will be involved soon.
