Comedian Louis CK makes humble request to torrent and gets content removed

bittorrent
For People who beleive that Internet is a place where you have right to share everything, or you are supporter of PirateBay, then this one’s a must read.

Comedian Louis CK’s Stand up Performance had been put up on BitTorrent. So what did Louis do next?

Made a Request stating - 

HI. I’m Louis CK. Can you please take this down? This show is a work in progress and was not intended to be passed around the internet. I have absolutely no problem, personally, with file sharing, and if you take everythign I have on the market on DVD, CD, and put it up for free downloading, I don’t care. But this is an artistic and personal request. Please take this torrent down. thanks.

Next, now what Response he receives -

 

Sorry Mr. CK, I have taken down the direct downloads and asked Mininova and ViPeers to remove the torrent. I thought you would have preferred the reverse, your live concerts in ****ty audio quality would be ok, especially for what you said about NBC taking down your Late Night appearance, and your high quality DVDs and stuff wouldn’t be ok since you need ***** for that stuff. I sincerely apologize for the torrent and the misunderstanding.

Well, this is a very good effort by Louis. Well, it was a smart decision made by him, instead on knocking the doors of the court. Well Done.

Don’t Expect to see Pirate Bay Homepage anymore on Google Search Results

Update : Google States ” The removal appears to be an internal error and not part of a DMCA request.” It’s Back on to search results!

The Pirate Bay (thepiratebay.org), famous Torrent Tracker website, it’s homepage will no longer be available on the search results of Google. Well, recently Peter Sunde who had recently left his job as spokerperson for pirate bay tweeted asking, if anyone knew why Google had removed Pirate Bay from homepage listings.

But later when searching for “thepiratebay.org” the result showed this at the bottom -

  In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 8 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.  

It Simply means that Google has responded to the request by putting the homepage down from the results. But really, i think it’s foolish, still you can see links to site apart from the homepage. So it won’t matter much till they completely remove pirate bay from their search results, which i don’t think will be happening soon.
