Anti-piracy company Link-Busters has reported over 56 million pirate URLs to Google in one week; averaging 5,000 links
TorrentFreak 1:15 pm on June 10, 2024
Over half a million URLs reported weekly by Link-Busters, an anti-piracy company, have been flagged to Google, setting new records. This surge in takedown notices follows years of declining volumes due to algorithmic countermeasures and resurgence among pirates. Major book publishers primarily target the site's domain names associated with popular shadow libraries.
- Record-breaking Piracy Takedown: Link-Busters reported an unprecedented 56 million URLs per week to Google, a significant spike in anti-piracy activities.
- Publisher Collaboration: The takedowns are mainly for book publishers like Penguin Random House and HarperCollins.
- Domain Focus: Shadow library domains, such as Anna's Archive and ZLibrary, dominate the most reported sites.
- Legal Implications: With no immediate response from Link-Busters for commentary on their takedown volume surge, the implications of these actions are yet to be fully understood.
The appropriate categories would likely be: **AntiTrust** and **Search**.
