Google's anti-piracy move prompts file-sharers' reply
Google says it has received requests for the removal of over five million web links in the last 30 days
Two
file-sharing websites have suggested that Google's decision to demote
in its search results websites linked to copyright-infringement
complaints would not harm them.
The Pirate Bay and Isohunt said the move would only encourage users to search for material directly through their pages.The two services added that Google was not their main source of traffic.
Google made the change after complaints from the media industry.
It also confirmed to the BBC that YouTube videos would be subject to its new regime.
Isohunt's owner had suggested that the Google-owned video clip site would be given preferential treatment because it was excluded from the firm's Transparency Report list of sites in which it highlighted copyright removal requests.
But a spokeswoman for the search giant said: "This update applies to all websites including our own - YouTube, Blogger, etc."
Despite this the move is unlikely to make much change to the rankings of Google's services or other platforms dominated by user-generated content such as Facebook and Twitter, since copyright flagging is just one of many factors that will influence their placing.
Google added that material on YouTube which infringed copyright would be removed from the website completely "in accordance with the law" if it became aware of it.
Lower listings The new search results are organised according to the number of factors, including the amount of "valid copyright removal notices" Google has received about individual sites.
Those with more notices are likely to appear lower down.
"That Google is putting our links lower is in a way a good thing for us. We'll get more direct traffic when people don't get the expected search result when using Google," said The Pirate Bay in a blog post.
"The thing we don't like with this is... they're dictating terms."
Gary Fung, owner of BitTorrent Isohunt, said that only 21% of its traffic came from Google.
"We have plenty of torrent links to non-copyright infringing content, and we'll be adding 1.4 million more from the Internet Archive soon," he wrote on an Isohunt forum.
Mr Fung also queried the validity of the removal notices which he claimed could be spammed.
Those wishing to protect their copyright on YouTube are encouraged to use a free tool called Content ID which digitally fingerprints their work and notifies them if it appears on the site, Google said.
The copyright holder can then decide whether to leave it, have the content taken down or make money from it by adding adverts.
Google宣布將為應用下載增加「智慧方式」（Smart Updates），即更新應用時無需重新再下載整個應用，只下載更新的部分，如今這一功能，已經悄然上線。
根據互聯網報導，Google當時在I/O大會說，開啟這項功能開發人員無需做任何事情。而根據Android Police，這個功能已經在15日晚悄然上線，不過Google官方還沒有正式公布相關消息。利用這項『智慧方式』功能，一旦遇到App有更新，用戶無 需像現在一樣重新下載整個軟件，而只用下載更新的那部分。這可以幫助用戶節省帶寬和延長電池的使用時間。
根據Android Police的實際測試，現在更新ezPDF功能閱讀器，只需要下載大小為3MB的文件，而以前經常是6.3MB。同樣，當更新Instagram時，現 在只需下載3MB大小的文件，而不是以前的13MB。而當下載其他很大的App如遊戲時更加明顯，畢竟，現在你無需下載遊戲中相同的大量圖片，只用下載新 增的功能部分。
