As the web has grown, we have seen a growing number of issues relating to infringing content. We respond expeditiously to requests to remove such content from our services, and have been improving our procedures over time. But as the web grows, and the number of requests grows with it, we are working to develop new ways to better address the underlying problem.
That’s why today we’re announcing four changes that we’ll be implementing over the next several months:
We’ll act on reliable copyright takedown requests within 24 hours. We will prevent terms that are closely associated with piracy from appearing in Autocomplete. We will improve our AdSense anti-piracy review. We will experiment to make authorised preview content more readily accessible in search results.
I've always found blogspot and blogger to be among the worst offenders (especially with developing countries) and people use the readily available adsense program, so this is good news. No easy way to contact the blogger and a layout in non english language also makes it very difficult to communicate with the author first.
file an action seeking a court order to restrain the counter-notifier’s allegedly infringing activity
Are they also going to improve their response times to counter-notices? Otherwise we will see an increase in the the use of false claims to shut down competitors or critics.
