Google Asked To Remove 345M Pirate Links In 2014
 

Think about that number for a minute. That is almost a million a day, 42,000 per hour, 700 a minute or 12 requests per second. Copyright holders asked Google to remove more than 345,000,000 allegedly infringing links from its search engine in 2014. The staggering number is an increase of 75% compared to the year before. While Google has taken some steps to downrank pirate sites, the rate at which takedown notices are sent continues to rise.
