Story : Google took down a record-breaking 5.3 million allegedly links from its search engine in the last week of September, equivalent to just under nine links every second, the data below shows the fact that there has been an increase in number of takedowns of copyright websites. According to statistics it is claimed that Between July and October 2012 copyright holders sent Google about 1.8m link takedown notices a week, increasing to 2.8m a week in November 2012 and 3.8m in mid-December 2012.In February 2013, takedown notices hit 3.8m a week, increasing to 4.47m at the end of March, and finally peaking in the final week of September hitting 5.3m spanning 37,413 domains from 5,407 copyright owners, which marked a 4008% increase over the first notice listings by Google in July 2011.
My View : I believe that this situation will increase over the years forcing people to go out and buy DVD'S or sign up with sky in order to watch their films,documentaries etc. This means that we will start using more traditional media and we will start spending more money on buying the products than using it for free online.
