Paramount Wipes “Infringing” Ubuntu Torrent From Google
Found on Torrentfreak on Monday, 12 September 2016
For some reason, however, Paramount Pictures is not happy with seeing the popular operating system on torrent sites. In a notice sent out by the movie studio’s anti-piracy partner a few days ago, Google is asked to remove an Ubuntu torrent download page on ExtraTorrent.
Despite the obvious non-infringing status of the Ubuntu release, Google moved ahead and removed the page from its search index. Perhaps not surprisingly, considering the volume of requests that the company has to process.
If you make a wrong DMCA claim, you can be held responsible. That does never seem to happen though; otherwise takedown notices would not rain down like the plague.
