Google refused to remove the home page The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay is one of the few torrent trackers on the main page which has no links to pirated material. However, this does not stop copyright holders from trying to remove it from the search index. To the credit of Google, she strictly observes the letter of the DMCA and refused to comply.

For example, a Corporation BPI (British Recorded Music Industry) is one of the most active "partners" in removal of pirated content from search results. Today she sent already 229 705 such queries that contain a total of more than 32 million pages to remove from the index.

Last week, the BPI sent another request with 2000 URLS, among which were the title page "the Pirate Bay".



In the list for removal was the title page thepiratebay.sx is one of the many mirrors a popular torrent tracker. According to the report by Google, but this page was the only one that has not taken any action (No actions taken), that is, the company refused to comply with BPI and request to remove the page from the search index. This is logical, because on the main page there really is no pirated content and links to it. At the same time The Pirate Bay is used for distribution of legal content, for example, distributions open source programs.

This is not the first time Google receives a request to delete some pages and refuses to implement it. For example, the search engine refused to remove a few pages from the site habrahabr.ru at the request of Microsoft Corporation.
