Google: 1500 removal requests per minute links to pirate
The Mountain View company receives more than two million requests to remove links to pirated month, up to 1,500 per minute and 25 seconds each. The phenomenon is growing and no doubt serve better solutions.
It seems like a never-ending battle to the piracy on the web. And Google is one of the names at the forefront of this battle. The company of Mountain View comes 1,500 requests to remove links to pirated minutes, almost twice as many requests last year. The river demands ” DMCA takedown ” is in full in recent years, with a growing regime that demonstrates that the problem is far exceeded or damned.
In 2011, Google was receiving only a few hundred removal requests per day, today at the same time is called to process more than 2 million. 1,500 per minute, 25 seconds each. Also increase the realities that require action by the company behind the search engine: just last month takedown notifications were from 5,500 owners of copyright, and related links hosted 65 million in 70,000 domain names different.
The numbers are derived from Transparency Report updated by Google on November 22, 2015. Many of the requests are linked to pirated content, and in these cases, the removal from Google is simple and very quick. But given the enormous amount of data to be processed and soaring report incoming errors and duplicate requests they are very common. The problem is still vast and under the eyes of all, a phenomenon now more than evident.
The availability of pirated content in the search engines is badly copyright owners, who even think that even customers potentially in good faith can be conducted in unauthorized content. Google on its part has tried to stem the flow penalizing in search results the torrent sites, but it has been shown that changes in the algorithms have not been as effective as hoped by the engineers of the Big G.
Organizations to protect the rights of copyright owners expect that Google uses a more aggressive approach completely eliminating illegal websites that base their economy on works broadcast illegally. But this is an approach that goes beyond the idea of the search engine according to the company’s Mountain View, that is not going to censor arbitrarily entire portals. However, it serves a clear solution, as the problem – and the numbers say it – has all but disappeared.
