Articles: Google changes to 'fight piracy' by highlighting legal sites

Google needs to promote legal websites and demote illegal one. There's one problem with Google doing this, the first is if someone types an illegal website into the browser, they will get hits related to that website, so there is not really a way to get a legal website when the search is specific. Another problem is that when Google promotes websites that pay more to be first when they are searched, is a problem. The problem is that Google should put legal websites first instead of higher paying corporations because what if a higher paying corporation is in fact, illegal. So is Google promoting piracy? Piracy is not just going to go away when there are servers outside the U.S. that can put illegal content online, and Google can't really doing anything to them. One example is Sweden, they have different laws then the U.S. and so they can pirate content, but the U.S. cant really do anything to stop pirated content when millions of people pirate content from servers outside the U.S.
