Google has removed the torrent tracker The Pirate Bay and more than 100 related domains from its search results in the Netherlands. The corporation refers to a local order to block the pirate site. However, it does not oblige Google to do anything, so it turns out that the company has decided to comply voluntarily, writes TorrentFreak. According to the newspaper, this is the first time that Google has carried out an order to block the pirated site without a direct order.

Sunde appears to have been right when he wrote in 2013, "Blocking The Pirate Bay in any country increased the number of visitors to the site each time. It's like trying to shoot arrows into a black hole with an archery gun."
So far, the site's biggest fans have breathed a sigh of relief, but they're not sure how legal harassment tactics will be able to adapt to the situation. Alex says he has always supported the site fulfilling the "Robingwood" mission of giving content to the masses without having to pay an unfair price.

Google did this by this court decision, which, strictly speaking, has nothing to do with search results at all - it orders to block this list of domains to three Internet service providers in the Netherlands
