Google today announced that it will update its search Algorothm to ignore or lower the search results of web domains with high number of copyright removal notices.
Starting next week, we will begin taking into account a new signal in our rankings: the number of valid copyright removal notices we receive for any given site.Since last year the company has been gathering data(complaints) from Copyright owners. Couple of months back Google published this data in its Google Transparency Report .
At this moment the Top 10 affected domains are ..
And about valid copyright ..
Only copyright holders know if something is authorized, and only courts can decide if a copyright has been infringed; Google cannot determine whether a particular webpage does or does not violate copyright law. So while this new signal will influence the ranking of some search results, we won’t be removing any pages from search results unless we receive a valid copyright removal notice from the rights owner. And we’ll continue to provide "counter-notice" tools so that those who believe their content has been wrongly removed can get it reinstated. We’ll also continue to be transparent about copyright removals.
