Sure, Google can take down sites - sites that are blatantly illegal like CP. How are you going to argue that Google would know to take down a PornHub? How is Google supposed to know that PornHub doesn't have license to the content on it, especially when there are tube sites out there that have license to use ALL the content on them (legal tubes)? How deep is Google supposed to get involved to figure out if a site is illegal and should be removed, especially in a non-mainstream arena like porn? Heck, how is Google supposed to remove them for illegal content when no one has successfully won a lawsuit against them (PornHub et al) for what they're doing? Or here's the best question of them all: How would anyone in existence expect Google to take PornHub et al out of their results when PornHub et al state that users upload any of the illegal content on them, which is exactly what YouTube, a site Google OWNS, claims regarding the exact same thing?

Shit, I'm not even a lawyer and know to bring up these questions. I don't think your lawyer buddies thought it through very much.
