Google Set to Downgrade Piracy Sites on Search
  • Government are set to implement a new legislation to stop illegal sites being found on Google search
  • This comes after entertainment groups raised concerned on how easy it is to found illegal downloading sites on Google.
  • Entertainment groups, comprising the film, music and publishing industries, complained that top Google search results remain dominated by pirate sites despite repeated assurances from the internet firm that it would push them down. 
My Opinion
  • I think this is a great idea as it decreases the amount of piracy which heavily affects the entertainment industry.
  • However, many people who do use this site could lose out when they are looking to download illegally, being made to pay.
