Google Sees Over 1 Million Daily Takedown Requests for Pirate Links

While Websites like The Pirate Bay are Busy Improving the Experience for the Torrent-Loving Crowd, Google's Facing the Task of Processing an Extreme Amount of Removal Request for Pirate Links. According to a Recent Transparency Report on the Matter, Google is Now Seeing More than 1 Million DMCA Takedown Notices per Day. In the Previous Week Alone, for Instance, the Technology Giant was Asked to Remove about 8 Million Results from its Search Engine. As TorrentFreak Points Out, the Amount of Copyright Removal Notices Sent to Google has Seen a Tremendous Spike in Recent Times -- it Wasn't Long Ago that, the Number of Takedown Requests was in the Low-Hundreds for the Entire Year. With the Growth of the Internet as a Whole, however, it's Easy to See How that's Come to be.
