Latest claims show google as the accomplice for spreading the illegal copies of software and media. On lifehacker website the moderator states "Forbes calls Google the New Pirate Bay because it's great at finding torrents—acting as a sort of meta-aggregator. With this custom Google search engine, it's even easier to find and download torrents via Google."
As getting licensed copy of media and software is becoming no longer a natural but respected, virtuous and rightous behavior, the easy access to such illegal copies makes it even a harder struggle.
"As the Forbes article linked above points out, doing a simple search for wolverine torrent turns up several popular BitTorrent trackers, meaning you're just two clicks away from downloading the leaked movie via BitTorrent. The custom search engine in question just streamlines the process slightly by explicitly defining which popular torrent trackers Google should search.
This isn't the first time we've seen Google used for quick and easy file sharing. Previously mentioned G2P uses some custom Google-fu to find publicly hosted media files in a quick and easy search."
