Deindexing/blocking these sites is a reasonable step. Australia did so in 2018, resulting in a 5% increase to visits to legal sites:

It seems unreasonable to have websites openly flouting copyright law. Additionally, for software like games, the files are usually full of malware.



What is Google if not a website that openly flouts copyright law? I don't remember Google getting license to store my website in their index or to show my images in Google Images.

I don't mind, of course, but it goes to show that the whole thing is bogus and a different set of laws apply depending on how much money you have.
