The article also mentions "Preventing terms that are closely associated with piracy from appearing in Autocomplete."

It's good to know they have attention on Autocomplete. I have seen very few complaints about false and reputation damaging Suggestions in recent months.

y'know, Google has some pretty good dupe content tools. If they just ran this on blogspot and put some filters in place they'd cut down on an awful pile of (C) infringement that they're deliberately contributing to.

deja dit

they already know who is hosting most of the scraping infringing stuff..they are...and they also host a huge number of sites that point to "cyberlockers"..and they already know that ..too

they are now being successfully used by more than a dozen content industry partners who together account for more than 75% of all URLs submitted in DMCA takedowns for Web Search.

I don't know who these "content industry partners" are. Can someone tell me?

Since there's only about a dozen, I'm assuming some major media names only - but I don't think Google published a list.

One thing that I am having a hard time with DMCA, Google and Adsense, is that they will not act on it until they have received a notice that the "complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the counter-notifier's allegedly infringing activity."

If no notice is sent, then the page and the AdSense publisher is not removed from Adsense.

I'd love the infringer out, but 99.9% of the time, small businesses will not go to court and sue.

Thanks Tedster. But I'm so dumb that I don't even know what Google means by "content industry partners". Is it referring to sites that display Adsense? Or could it mean anyone like myself whose content pages appear in Google's SERPs ? Or something else.

That really sounds extremely suspicious to me. If you’re claiming twelve companies account for 75% of the DMCA filings should you even be listing, indexing, or dealing with those companies in the first place. Those companies must have millions of Adsense pages in the index to make such an extraordinary trade-off.

Google will never tackle spam, scrapers, or copyright infringement properly because it would threaten their profits which were built on stolen content and putting Adsense on it to begin with.

As for the 24 hour thingy Google sends you a form letter acknowledging they received your complaint in that time period. Its related more to show for Congress than anything else, if questions are asked. When they actually act on the DMCA and whether it complies with the spirit of the law is a whole different matter.

Bottom line is no company in the world has received more DMCA’s than Google and most of those reported pages will contain Adsense.
