Google: Pirate Bay removed from search due to error
Published: 05 Oct 2009 09:16 BST
Google said on Friday that an error caused the search engine to remove The Pirate Bay from its search pages.
"Google received a [Digital Millennium Copyright Act] take-down request that erroneously listed Thepiratebay.org, and as a result, this URL was accidentally removed from the Google search index," Google said in a statement. "We are now correcting the removal, and you can expect to see Thepiratebay.org back in Google search results this afternoon."
Later, Google updated its statement: "The removal appears to be an internal error and not part of a DMCA request."
