By The search giant engine , Google, has announced a few changes to its algorithms that are about to make some huge differences.
Google has pretty much joined the allies in the war against illegal file-sharing sites and traffic.
The changes Google plans to implement are primarily aimed of removing keywords that are vital to such websites from their AutoComplete feature. This sounds a bit complicated but it isn’t really.
Basically, when you now type “Lady Gaga – Alejandro” in Google’s search engine you will notice an AutoComplete suggestion that reads “Lady Gaga – Alejandro torrent” or “Lady Gaga – Alejandro free download”.
This links typically lead to illegal sites such as torrent trackers and others of the sort. This means that most of the traffic coming in to such sites is basically from Google.

Banning the suggestions will eventually reduce the traffic to such Internet hot points and fight piracy quite well.
While Google’s efforts seems admirable and will eventually makes quite a difference, authorities on the matter have more to say. The copyrighting and industries affected by file sharing sites want Google to do more.
Future requests for Google include complete removal of torrent results in each and every free search undertaken on the web giant’s website. This complete damnation of file sharing is supposed to be revised for all of Google’s services.
Basically, any Google owned service will have to be checked for illegal content which is to be removed later on.
I’ve been saying this for a pretty long time but recently it seems that authorities are really aiming toward creating legislation for the Internet.
After taking down LimeWire, ThePirateBay and a raft of other sites the legislators are after whatever is left.
