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.

If you write a migration by hand, and your target database is PostgreSQL, then read this article, I am sure, the time spent on reading the article will be repaid with interest. I hope you already know how to work with Liquibase, so only two words describe how the system works. In order to make changes in the database, you need to create a migration file (changeset) that you need to specify in the file change log (changelog), after which the migration can be successfully applied to the target database. Undeniable and obvious benefit of this approach is the ability to rollback the changes. In my opinion, liquibase, there is only one drawback — the automatic rollback of changes only works only if the mi

the Background application on androidphone when you install the application Vkontakte is possible to use it as a provider of contacts to synchronize the contacts from Facebook with contacts in your address book. In this case stretches the avatar, date of birth, address, phone numbers, etc. When I after prolonged use HTC Wildfire S rated and are so used to this that he wanted to find a similar to the iPhone. Not found, so we took it and made his own — Synchronizer VKontakte :) It was back in November of last year. The application was done fairly quickly — it uses quite a few functions of Vkontakte API and functionality with the address book of the iPhone.

Besides him there are a dozen other services, which are also archived to the web: the indexes of search engines and industry-specific archives like Archive-It , UK Web Archive , Cite Web , ArchiefWeb , Diigo . Interesting to know how many web pages gets into these files, relative to the total number of documents in the Internet? It is known that the base of the Internet Archive for 2011 contains more than 2.7 billion URIs , many of them in multiple copies taken at different points in time. For example, the home page of Habra "photographed" already 518 times since July 3, 2006 . It is also known that the base reference Google five years ago overstepped the mark in trillion unique URLS , although many of the documents were duplicated.
