Removing pirated search engine results can improve a producer’s bottom line by reducing the rate of illegal sharing and downloading of their content. Search engines are often one of the first places where people go to find and access infringing material, such as pirated movies or television shows. By removing links to these sources from search engine results, producers can make it more difficult for people to access pirated content, which can lead to fewer illegal downloads and less lost revenue.
Additionally, by eliminating the visibility of pirated content in searches, producers can reduce the confusion that exists among consumers about what is and isn’t legitimate, which can help them to establish and maintain a strong brand reputation. Ultimately, this can result in increased investment, as investors may be less likely to invest in companies that are regularly targeted by pirates and suffer losses due to copyright infringement.
