Piracy goes much deeper than Google and other Search Engines. It's cultural, it's easy, no penalty usually. Even when someone is caught there's a lot of sympathy for them. Now we have the White House backing out of the law. Will another one replace it or have they found it's a vote loser?
This industry has changed 180 degree in the last 10 years. It's gone from what was a fairly easy way to make a lot of money on all levels. From models, to agents, to shooters, publishers, distributors and shops, cable, phones, hotels, etc. The retail end of the business was worth many billions. No one compares what we make today with what was made in the retail, maybe for fear or maybe for ignorance.
Today it's an industry of driving traffic by any means. For dimes. Same goes for music, films, and every other product pirated online. Until that is changed, piracy will continue. Giving 10,000 people a link to a free piece of content for one to buy from an advert is hurting all businesses. Except those who profit from the free products or the people selling traffic.
