British music biz group targets Google results
Tuesday, 22, June 2010


For years, file sharers have wondered why copyright owners don't go after Google, when the search engine is as effective at finding pirated film and music content as The Pirate Bay or any other BitTorrent search engine.It seems as if someone at the British Phonographic Industry must have wondered about that too, as the trade group for the music industry in Great Britain has requested that Google remove links to some popular file-sharing sites, including Megaupload, 4shared.com, Zippyshare, and MediaFire.

"We have identified the following links that are available via Google's search engine," the BPI wrote to Google in a June 11 letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. "[BPI leaders] request the following links be removed as soon as possible, as they directly link to sound recordings owned by our members."There appears to be few, if any, recent requests made by a large copyright owner for Google to remove links to accused pirate sites. Last October, Google pulled a link to The Pirate Bay, one of the most famous of the BitTorrent search engines, but Mountain View, Ca.-based Google quickly returned the link to its search pages and said the move was a mistake.
