Google Will Boot Websites to Check Pirated Content From AdSense
Google has stated that they will be taking a rigid step to boot AdSense partners who use their sites to post duplicate content. As the web has grown so fast, they are facing an increasing number of issues that relate to infringing content.

This stricter stance against piracy on its own website as well as the sites of their partners is the latest step taken by Google. While monitoring AdSense sites closely for pirated materials like audio files, Google also announced that they would be focusing on the following:

  • Increase the response time to 24 hours or even less when complaints are made by content owners about pirated materials appearing at the Google sites.
  • Make sure Autocomplete is not filled with words that are closely similar to searches for pirated content.
  • They will also venture to make authorized content more easily available at the search results.
Though it is not a sudden outburst that Google is making about pirated content showing up on AdSence or Google, but, since they are facing an antitrust inquiry from the EU, it needed allies to find them. This is perhaps a good start to make those big content owners who are accusing them of not taking any initiative to combat piracy.
