Google all set to make search piracy free....

Google has been making subtle changes to its search engine that will “visibly affect”(or demote)  the rankings of “notorious” sites that force the downloading or streaming of pirated music, movies, and TV shows. In the place of these unofficial or illegal links(links to pirated stuff) — which often rank above legal, commercial sites — Google will now show direct links to Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and other “official” sites. Furthermore, Google will more aggressively prune the results that pop up via auto-complete, so google will no more be prompting "free download" when to google a movie name.
Almost since the advent of BitTorrent, Google has often been referred to as the best search engine for finding music, TV shows, movies, and whatever other pirated goods you might be after. It isn’t that Google intentionally set out to be a brilliant search engine for illegal downloads, it was just a simple matter of Google’s trawlers, indexers, and algorithms being very good at their job. The RIAA, BPI, MPAA, ESA and various other associations/lobbies have long criticized Google for not being more proactive in demoting these results from the first few pages — and it has only become a bigger issue as newer, easier-to-use methods, such as streaming and downloading from file lockers, surged in popularity over the last few years.
So, the coming time is going to be tough for piracy stuff lovers.....
