TorrentFreak reports that the BPI recording industry association recently sent Google a takedown notice that asked the company to remove the entire Pirate Bay homepage from search results. Although The Pirate Bay is notorious for containing links to pirated content, its homepage does not actually contain any infringing links and Google so far has refused to blacklist it from search results. TorrentFreak notes that "over the past few months there has been an increase in... notices asking Google to remove homepages of 'pirate sites'" and that "the MPAA in particular is targeting a lot of streaming portals using this method."51709dafc7ad93fd49c45b960338d471._.gif
