  Is this even an effective approach? The pirates I know don’t use Google to find content anyway.

    does google still do that thing with “some links on this result page were excluded based on this request”, followed by a link to full text of the request, said link included? 😆

      Truthfully, I do not know. I haven’t been using Google anymore because there is quality is so poor.

    I mean yeah I know most pirates won’t use Google and will use other search engines but the majority of people using the internet don’t even know that there are other search engines to use. Keeping them off Google is effective at preventing them from reaching other people.

    Whenever I want to pirate something I just go straight to btdig. And if there’s no torrent and I really need to search the web, I’ve had much better luck with Yandex. I figure they’re more resistant to takedowns from western corporations

    No, not really. They just register a new domain.

    I.e xyz.com buys xyz.net and the cycle never ends.
