Anti-piracy robot mode paranoia

the copyright Holders sent Google more and more requests to remove "pirated content" from search results, in accordance with the DMCA. Google dutifully executes queries, but after that publish information about remote URLS. Thus, the efforts of rights holders updated database of illegal content.

Most of the removal requests sent to Google on behalf of Microsoft — every day we receive thousands of locations where pirated version of Windows 8, Visual Studio or Office 2013. Over the past year from the Google index have been removed 4 826 032 URL with pirated Microsoft products (on average, 13186 per day).

Recently, automatic filter fighters against piracy has given specific failure. list removal, sent by the Agency to LeakID on request by Microsoft, were the websites of Wikipedia, TechCrunch, BBC, CNN, various science magazines and even some US government sites. Supposedly, they have "pirate" Windows 8.



Fortunately, Google was ready to such succession of events: there is a "white list" of sites that are not working procedure of automatic deletion of the DMCA. So these documents were in the search results.

What is more interesting is how anti-piracy robot is suspected in the illegal distribution of pirated copies of Windows 8 following the links?

At first glance, they had nothing in common. But if you look closely, there is one thing: this is the number 45. It can be found in the specified articles from Wikipedia: Civil war in Ancient Rome ended in 45 BC, and the Glock shoots bullets caliber .45.

Of course, the number 45 is not a reason to remove these documents from the Google search issue. Just proof of how buggy filter.

It's not the most hilarious glitch: 15 requests on behalf of Microsoft search engines such as Google need to remove links Bing.com, that is, on its own search engine Microsoft.

Finding pirated content on the order of Microsoft, engaged several third-party companies, including Marketly, DtecNet (MarkMonitor) and LeakID, on account of 3.26 million remote URL, 1.34 million and 270 thousand, respectively. By the way, the founders of the company Marketly are former Microsoft employees.
