Brein last year for 4.4 million urls deletion requests submitted to Google, 86 percent more than a year earlier. Most of the deletion requests went out about the websites Torrentz.eu, 4shared.com and Filestube.
Where Brein in 2013, 2.4 million url’s wanted to remove, were there last year so already 2 million more, is evident from the transparency report of Google. Brain wants the urls to delete in command of connected members, such as film distributors and record labels. “Our beneficiaries have more titles given to remove”, explains managing director Tim Kuik of Brein the increase.
Last year, the average number of takedown requests down at 84.000 per week; a year earlier this was less than 45,000 times per week. Especially in the spring and summer were a lot of deletion requests submitted. In total, between september 2012 and Friday morning – has Brain Google dedicated 6.9 million urls to be removed.
Although it is going to request for 4.4 million deletions, it is not known how many urls eventually are removed; Google can decide to be content not to delete it. “But our bounce rate is pretty low,” says Kuik, even though he has no concrete number can call. “Often, urls are not removed because another party to the urls has already been reported”, says the Brain-director.
If Google agree with a takedown notification, references in the search index of the search engine to the conscious urls removed. That happens also in an absolute sense more and more often: lay the number of takedown requests in 2011, still not far above the hundred thousand a week, now it goes to millions of requests per week. Google removes links to copyright infringement in order to prevent the search giant itself liable for.
The deletion requests are not hand made. “We have techniques for”, says Kuik. “We are automatically protected material.” In addition, precautions to false positives, results that are actually totally not copyright infringement, to prevent, he says. So does the organization of samples.
