Week 23 - 'Google and Bing to deprecate piracy websites'

'Google and Bing to deprecate piracy websites'
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/20/google-and-bing-to-demote-piracy-websites

  • Internet users will find it harder to search for pirated films and music and illegally streamed live football matches under a new plan to crackdown on piracy websites
  • The code, the first of its kind in the UK, will accelerate the demotion of illegal sites following notices from rights holders
  • Ofcom has supported the discussions by examining in detail the way that search results are presented to internet users
Piracy is an issue that has been ever-growing and the fact that now there will be a procedure to cut down on this is a great thing as institutions will now be able to achieve the profit that they truly deserve. Thinking of this from the music industry perspective, I think it is a really great thing as artists will now receive the profit they deserve.
