The URL removal requests have increased 14-fold in a year. They amounted to 1.55 million there a year and now represent more than 21 million applications from organizations or holders of copyright.
In September 2013, the Mountain View company found to have received 21,880,000 applications URL removal. Explosion is the term that is most needed. Indeed, in September 2012, removal requests totaled 1.55 million, more than 14 times less than today.
These requests are not from individuals, but the vast majority of organizations representing rights holders of the music industry and film. In September, it is the British Recorded Music Industry (BPI), which blew scores with 5.7 million URL removal requests. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has requested $ 2.2 million and 456,615 for NBC Universal.
97% of applications are accepted
Google says that these applications usually result to be removed. In its FAQ, the company says that in 2011, she agreed to withdraw at "97% of search results specified in the requests received."
Refusals are rare and represent exaggerated or outlandish requests. Google cites a few cases like that of a driving school in the UK that "has requested the removal of the home page of a competitor of the search results, claiming that the competitor had copied an alphabetical list of cities and areas where driving courses were offered. "
Or, a United States report commissioned by a major movie studio asked, "twice, removing a film review published on the site of a major newspaper." By cons, Google does not explain the impressive explosion of requests.
