Interesting Google search omission

(1/3) > >>

DriftEJ20:
I was bored, so I searched "baka" on Google (there are sometimes funny blogs and such containing the word "baka" in their title. I received a results page with this at the bottom:


--- Quote ---In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org .

and not surprisingly, the complaint was from FUNimation and was filed against BakaBT for some Chobits OST among other things, and websites like Anime DB etc. for other things. I have never seen something omitted from Google before. I know auto-complete won't guess anything you're typing once it begins to involve torrents, porn, profanity etc., but that's the highest extent I've seen to Google omitting something until now. Just thought it was interesting. Forgive me if this has been around forever or it's been brought up before, it was just new to me and seemed relevant in the recent wake of SOPA and since it relates to BakaBT. The strange thing is that if you search BakaBT, it still comes up with BakaBT and a bunch of pages on this site, same as if you searched for any other torrent site. This is literally the only time I have had something removed from search results no matter what crazy stuff I've searched.

Hahaha, we have very different behaviorally patterns on the internet then if this is the first time you've run into one of those. Perhaps Chillingeffects has better search engine optimization than bakabt and that's why you stumbled upon it the way that you did. I dunno.  :police:

I guess generally, I've already had the places that I go for anything so it isn't everyday I use Google to search for torrents. But even so, even with searching things that in no way could be copyright legal no matter how you paint it, something like "Transformers Blu-Ray Rip torrent 1080p" and still having never encountered one of these. Maybe I just never noticed them? It was at the bottom I suppose. Still, it's weird that I encountered it with this specific search, and yet searching BakaBT returns thousands of links to separate submissions on this site. We're talking "Baka" being a more restrictive search than "BakaBT". That is just ineffective to me.

Remak:
This is the first time I have seen this  :-\
