Whether
you like it or not, the internet well always have pirates. One rule
which everyone needs to understand about the internet is that everything
of yours will be copied and there is nothing you can do about it. If
you don’t want your photos or graphics to get copied, don’t put it on
the internet. Obviously it’s not just photos that get copied, movies,
music, tv shows and all other types of content get pirated all the time.
Google
is now taking a bold new step which will impact those pirates. Starting
next week they are going to be punishing sites which receive a high
amount valid copyright notices and will be moving them deeper into
search results. So sites like Piratebay and other torrent sites will be
pushed back and more relevant sites will be pushed forward, such as
iTunes, Spotify..etc.
Google has always been on its tip toes
when it came to stuff like this because if it were to completely remove
search results, it doesn’t become a search engine anymore. People will
end up moving to a search engine which does allow you to search anything
you like. This is what also made it tough for Google to acquire
partnerships with major music and video companies, because Google did
not want to remove links which had pirated material.
