Google To Rank Pirate Sites Lower
 

Lower search ranks for copyright offenders? Why not just remove offending sites altogether? Seriously, what good does it do to rank them lower? Starting next week, we will begin taking into account a new signal in our rankings: the number of valid copyright removal notices we receive for any given site. Sites with high numbers of removal notices may appear lower in our results.
