The RIAA, representing the music industry in the U.S., has in the past few weeks the number of take-downrequests that Google submits, almost tripled. Compared to the summer, the number of requests on a weekly basis even increased six fold.

The Recording Industry Association of America represents the interests of the American music industry and in that role serves on a weekly basis requests to Google to have links from the search results to filter the users in the direction of material that infringes the copyright. The website Torrentfreak notes that the number of requests this month with large steps is increased.

On average, the RIAA in the last time about 200,000 urls per week, but in the first week of november shot that number up to 460.000, more than doubling. In the past week, the RIAA Google even 666.059’s urls in that it removed from the search results wanted. The Dutch website downloads.nl tightens the crown; the RIAA wants 396.192 references to that site from Google’s database will be erased.

Google gives since last summer insight into how many requests from governments and copyright holders will get to certain links from its search results to filter. Also mentions the search giant in its Transparency Report how often governments and courts data of Google users to query.
